Rules regarding swearing

nathwraith got away with trolling a thread yesterday

I've seen a few threads where don's have been less than a good example, however they are users themselves and will naturally sometimes fall foul of their own rules.
I've seen don's be told off and their posts removed.

Any that you think is bad though, RTM like you would a normal user. I've done it myself recently :p
 
no as it is one swear word, I can read the word perfectly it's one word remember not two ;)

Just as F swear is one word :D

the word itself is starred out though and that is all thats required. Just like ****ing. thats ok.
 
But anyway, back on the youtube clarification!, it's a grey area on this forum so we need to know where we stand. I really feel that if a Youtube video contains swearing then it MUST be tagged NSFW and must be tagged as contains swearing!
 
I've noticed people saying bloody hell, Sod's Law and bugger on OcUK. I thought they were swear words, certainly back in school. Can someone please clarify?

I dont have any issue with those phrases, but a 5-10 year old at school certainly should not be using them and should be whacked with the cane.
 
That's a valid excuse when you're on that side of the fence. But surely you can understand the frustration from some users. Rules are read less often than people noting and copying pre existing behaviour. If they see something which is allowed or ignored then they're more likely to do it themselves.
 
Ok i'll ask again

Youtube video, contains a swear word would you post it?
I wouldn't, I always thought the rules for videos were the same as the written word. Therefore, if there is a swear word you can't type in a post then you can't post a video with it in (even if it only appears once). I can't understand why the rules for videos would be any different.
 
Did you RTM the post?

We all have a responsibility, moderator or not, to oversee the integrity of these boards.

Twice, seperate days ;)

Tut tut Neil, you and your swearing, always getting you into trouble. ;):p:D

LOL oh come on, that was a different situation as that clan wound me up. BFBC2 in game characters actually swear a lot, especially when you go for the tags :p
