SABRES DAD Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Could i raise a point about swearing in the posts, before we go any further i am not a prude and will give anybody on here a run for their money when it comes to the use of expletives, but can i remind people that this is a open forum and we do have children who are members on here and as far as i am aware have the ability to read all the same posts and threads as we do. Do you like some one using the "F" word in front of your children? I am not asking for it to be banned as there is too much policeing of our lives as it is. It only takes a millisecond for the word to come out of your mouth but you have to think about what your typing. Most people mis spell or put in sqwiggles to their swear words and i think this is much less offensive. This is just my opinion and my children are not members of this site so don't read the posts anyway so it not something i have found personnely offensive to my family, more of an observation . P.S. I am not having a go at any individual member/s as i said it is just a observation. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 No problem, Andy, as you say, it is an open forum & it's not just children registered on here that can read the posts so to use @*&% instead takes just the same effort as using a word. I know some people use "bad" language as if it's part of the Queen's speech, but as you say, it is a polite request for people to be courteous & think about what they post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taz291819 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I agree with the OP, as I try not to swear too much, since I know children on reading this. I try to keep my posts as clean as possible, though I do use words like ^amn and the sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikaani&Aiyana Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Fair point, agree with all the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Nice post Andy added to rep Swearing is allowed but in moderation, and should never be used directly at someone or to inflame another member - that's not to say it can't be used at all but I think using symbols to replace letters is better - good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I dont think Andy if am reading this right is being to anal about this, I prob swear on here more than most but always use @@** the only time I disagree with using bad words is when they are directed at someone E.G Sarah is a c@nt if I ever seen this in any form about anyone it would get a instant ban. As for children they prob know more bad words than me and you and so long as the @@ or ** are used its fine by me so long as its not directed at anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
