    Default Inappropriate Language

    ** Original Post Removed **

    Stuff it, I'm not here to police you.
    I'm pretty sure that if you post something inappropriate, someone will let you know.

    Would that include abbreviations drawn from MMO roots?

    You have a point - it's a drawn out subject about interpretations etc.. but I think you can use this basic rule of thumb: If the abbreviation or acronym translates to something with a swear word in it, then don't use it.

    Yes, it's petty. Yes, it's small minded - you can please some people some of the time, but there's no way you can please all people all of the time.

    People need to realize that this site is here for everyone of different ages, different creeds, etc, so you can't expect everyone to find what you consider "normal behaviour" to be perfectly acceptable for everyone.

    Understand that we're not trying to force anyone out or make anyone uncomfortable - we're trying to make it comfortable for everyone to be here. If people don't want to compromise then I guess this is not the place for them.

    I don't know, I don't speak it - you'd have to ask Ruslan.

    Well, categorically speaking, i think you've potentially opened another can of worms.
    What is considered bad language? i mean, they use s*** in Egoli (as well as b****) and that is a family programme, does that mean i can say s*** and b*** here?

    I am not trying to stir, and i've been a member of these forums for two years now without much reprimanding et al. my posts are tasteful (well... to a point, i suppose) and i do not make lewd insinuations (often)

    So what, other than the obvious, constitutes as bad language?
    Cause if you can ban a guy for swearing, technically, you can ban him for being rude, since that ALSO could influence the children shoulder surfing.

    Then again, i think this whole mess of crap is unnecessary, since the WrGs KNOW tthe score and don't try to push the limits. Thank Goodness you have a group of adults on your hands, but i wonder what would happen if you mention that you might start treating them as kids.

    Take it as you will, i'm jsut trying to be a friend here that went through exactly the same, over yonder, at him bud site. After all, i know TG very well, and TG knows me very well. Ons kan twee vuilgatte wees as ons die dag lus is, but we compromise when sharing the site.

    Ag, you know, I don't know what to do anymore.

    I'm getting tired of this.

    Hehehehehe - i suggest mashing the "lock thread" button, and then jsut sit back.
    These things have a way of sorting themselves out.

    TG, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Don't let a silly little thing like this frustrate you.

    @ TG. Thank you for setting the standard now there is no doubt in anybody's mind.

    @ Blinky. We are adults we all know what swearwords are and if you are in doubt don't use the word. Chose another from your wide vocabulary.
