He asked them in a public forum so the answer can be made in the same. No lawsuit.

No idea, but people do a lot of things I don't understand on a regular basis. I just remember back when I worked on the phone to make sure any comments on a customers account were factual as they could make a DPA request to see anything held about them. Which included account notes. To be honest, I am not 100% sure that it applies here, but I think it might.
The long and the short of it is though, if you see something you think is offenssive, RTM. If you think that RTMing is being a grass or a snitch, then you probably need to grow up and get out of the playground.

could we add a rule in the FAQ that anyone posting about a rule break is breaking a rule themselves? if all these forum grammer/rule/whatever else nazi's want to have their fun and report people insist they do it privately. every 3rd thread is somebody insisting they must tell the lesser beings that we are which rule we broke, then 15 pages of 99% of the rest of us telling them to shut the hell up.
if we make that a rule in and of itself, surely either they'll stop or their own brains will implode at the decision to post and also break the rules doing so.
Or spawn off a sub forum with a bot that posts swear words and make all these people mods of that specific sub forum, because lets be honest we all know exactly what they want. they all want to be mods, and they all think they should be, and they think letting everyone know they've read an FAQ page makes them qualified to make our lives hell.
Why would anyone want to be a mod? Telling people off for swearing on the Internet?
That sounds like so much fun it should probably be illegal.
LOL 3 times for swearing the other two must have been on friday nights as i don't visit the site a weekends. Apologies for the swearies btw.
Why's he crying? Did he see a swearword?

Personally I'd get rid of all swear words including my favourite 'crap'.
I can't see the point of starring swear words (even though I've done it many times) and I think this forum would benefit from just banning them all together.
When you see certain forums where swearing is the norm it looks awful and threads break down very quickly.

Funny that, cos I've just nuked his ass
Is that what they call child abuse these days?
/curiousYou're posts are seriously becoming long in the tooth.
Your.
I have to agree with that. It gets very tedious and tiresome reading a thread that is full of swearing and attacks.
It depends though. If you have a catch-all 'no worthless posting' rule that should mop up the worst of those kinds of posts.
You can't seriously say swearing is as tedious as one word posts that consist only of 'lol', 'lmao', 'tbh' or even worse nothing but a smily, of which there are far too many here.
I disagree. Pistonheads realises that generally speaking, 7 year olds are not buying and running cars and that its readership are adults - therefore, there are no rules about swearing. You do not see threads descending into mayhem.
