GTA 5 PC videos no swearing?!?

I posted a video in gaming which had swearing without thinking, a kind OCUKer has my back and mentioned it had swearing in a trust message and fortunately I deleted it before i has bans.

Swearing in posts i understand the warning/ ban but the odd word in a video clip i do think is a bit mad
 
Removed it once? You have a history of uploading massive sigs or copying other peoples sigs!

in that particular instance mr anal :p

Yea I think I once copied a sig of a car and the guy went nuts lol

I guess your reading what people have reported me for, I didn't realise it was illegal to copy someones sig :p
I will discuss the linking to articles which link to some swearing like BBC or Broadsheets with the moderating team. We still expect people to post or link to things which aren't OTT and excessively mature content.

sounds good since my last 2 holidays were for posting a young turks (youtube news channel) video that contained one swear word.

and the flight recorder path of an airplane one of the subtitles was a swear word.

I can understand if someone is posting gangster rap or something where every other word is a swear word but for a single word in a 5 minute video about politics/news is crazy.

gotta say I agree with the no swear words - and that from someone who uses a swear word in virtually very sentence I speak!!

but the videos thing I'm not in agreement with, surely if the posters indicates the video may/does contain swearing it allows those who would normally get offended or who may have kids sat near by the pc to make their own decision as to whether to watch it or not?
 
We're going to review it - ultimately it will come down to the discretion of the moderator.

We also won't announce it if we do decided to change the rules, because I know you - you'll all take the pee and post lots of links bordering on silliness ;)
 
The reason swearing exists so much around us is because it is part of out language and culture and we should be proud of it. Japanese hardly have any swear words in their language and only really have one word meaning feces. How utterly boring.

Swearing is healthy and forms part of a good vocabulary. Saying or believing otherwise is quite narrow minded. Always find it odd how people are touchy about swearing and see it as uncivilised, when it is far from the case.

Stephen fry sums it up quite well.

The moderation on this forum has always seemed very strong when it comes to swearing but some people get away with it depending on their 'status' on the forums.

I've seen people suspended for not fully starring out swear words and I've seen other people go unnoticed when doing it because they're a well known forum member or something. Can't we have a NSFW tag on forum threads or something

Can confirm. I got temp banned recently for not fully starring out a swear word yet the person in the post prior to mine did the exact same thing and nothing happened to them.
 
Did you RTM the post above yours?

I assumed that the report feature was disabled as was many features such as my ability to access the forums.

I wasn't going to act like a child over it anyway, "if I'm banned he must get banned too!". I just waited it out and forgot about it.

I think it's a bit unfair to criticise people about the moderation when a post hasn't been reported to us. We don't and can't read every post in every thread.

That's true.

Although at the time I assumed it was just a moderator reading through the thread and decided to take action upon me but not another forum member.
