Swearing on the forums? Can we clear this up

[G-MAN2004]

No because those are verb endings, the actual swear word is being starred out

Ah, yeah. Silly me.

lol - **** and knob aren't swear words. Looks like you had overzealous parenting.

This is a family forum. If you think they are acceptable on here it means you would be happy for your 3 year old to include those words in his or her vocabulary.

Right...

edit: eep it is according to somebody here

mummy, mummy, I need a ****

 

[gillywibble]

I think what would be most useful is a comprehensive list of all the words that aren't allowed. Here are the ones I can think of:

****
****
****
****
********
*******
************
*********
****
**********
********

Don't forget *********.

Don't forget *********.

Thanks - can't believe I left that one out!

 

[JBuk]

are we allowed to say **** ? a word that refers to a male chicken?

 

[SourChipmunk]

I'm just wondering why we use stars instead of the good-ol' !@#$%.

 

[Yewen]

What I find funny is that quite a lot of people on here get away with blatantly swearing while others get punished.

The question is have you RTM'd?

I'd be chuffing impressed my 3 year old was capable of working the computer, getting to ocuk, then reading the posts etc...

Someone not much older managed to steal their parents Golf and flip the car in 12m, anything is possible.

my 2 and a bit yr old nephew isnt far off being able to do that, although he cant read but he knows how to navigate the desktop with the laptop touchpad and which icons to press lol

I never thought the rules were that hard to understand really.

Or just do it the easy way, and refrain from swearing!

When somebody says this is a family forum I just have to chuckle to myself. I can't imagine anybody but older people on this forum. What's next, flowers and bright colors? Some background soft music perhaps?

Top Gear, in particular James says **** all the time and that show is on before 9PM

Spot on. I don't think I've ever used a sweary in a post, aside from a couple words that I didn't know were swearies over there.

 

[JBuk]

maybe a list of words deemed safe to use should be added to the FAQ ?

 

[medley]

I've already been banned for swearing as i'm used to posting all sorts of naughty stuff on my other forums.

if my kid did that I don't think I could even be mad at them

Do you regularly poo on your sofa?

 

[loltim]

Is arse a sweary?

odd one that. If you do a search for the word you'll find it's been used hundreds of times. I've had the word starred-out in one of my own posts, though.
