So you think swearing should be allowed?
It is not the issue of "no swearing allowed" that i disagree with, infact my attempt to star out the word should imply that i fully agree with the fact that swearing shouldnt be an open free for all. What miffed me was the way it was handled, and the fact i didnt get a response from a "contact us" mail i sent highlighting my thoughts about this.
To me a response to that would have been sufficent and i wouldnt have felt the desire to make a silly forum thread to "vent" a little.
To really be pedantic about things i funnily enough spent a little time reviewing the rules during my ban:
the rule i breached (because i was a tool and hadnt previously read the forum rules and worked on common sense alone):
No swearing, posting of "adult" material, personal attacks or "trolling"
OcUK would like you and your whole family to learn and share via our forums. For this reason swearing and the posting of "adult" or offensive material is forbidden. Simply replacing some of the letters in a swearword with a * or any other character is not acceptable. If you must then please replace the whole word with ***** or other repeated character. We also expect members to behave respectfully and not launch personal or abusive attacks on other members. Those who post for the sole purpose of causing trouble are not welcome here and will be dealt with accordingly.
What happens if I break the rules? (like i did for the first time on monday)
At best your post will be edited by the appropriate Don and you will be issued a warning. If the offence is more serious, your post will be deleted and you may be suspended for a period of time decided by the moderators. Posting "why was my post edited/deleted?" etc. will only make matters worse so please don't. For persistant and deliberate rule-breakers your account will be "Nuked". That means you are no longer welcome on these forums and your account will no longer function. If you re-register, your new account will be nuked immediately. Multiple accounts are not allowed under any circumstances.
so a minor breach of rules (posting up a joke with 1 swear word in, possibly considered adult, but no more adult then some of the lovely lady pics seen in the random images thread) is considered "more serious offence", even though my post was merely edited not deleted, and toping that off given that suspension even after post deletion is still a "maybe" I was miffed enough to want to make this post.
