As I stated, the curse words on here are not being used in a derogative sense, and are being used to resolve this problem.

Stop nitpicking. Besides, I've been told hell, and damn are acceptable ( again, resolving the problem ).

Actually, only 2 of my posts, not including this one, have actually used hell and damn in clear text.


DW

I didn't mean in this topic.

And stop nitpicking? It's the rules, Dragmire.

Well, please cite your sources.

When I said that, I thought you were talking about in this topic. My apologizes.

EDIT: I should state that my perspective of good taste, is one curse word, about every 5 posts seems fair.

DW

Why are we even trying to judge a swear limit? Why do you need to swear at all?

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make you look more mature or anything...

Because, sometimes I'll let one go, and forget about. It's in my nature. I'm trying to change. I just don't think it's fair that one curse word here and there = 1 warning.

But, I would really appreciate it if you would list example of my multiple swearings. If you cite more than 3, I'll except my banning. I don't care. I will make me learn.

QuoteDidn't try others, seeing as how I dont own the game (TOASTER-PASTRY) yet

Quoteit a total pain in the patio.

There were several other posts that the mods had edited, and I didn't count hell and damn. We're not banning you, just watch yourself. Also, both of your warnings weren't for hell or damn, but the A-word. So...yeah.

Oh well. I couldn't even find those if I wanted.

:'(
I thought I could get away with it on chat board seeing as roflmao is fine, and lmao aswell. Same thing really, just abbreviated.

MagmarFire

True, but for all total Internet newbs would know (not that I'm saying any of us is one), "roflmao" could mean "really old flippers leading my awesome orange," or "lmao" could mean "likely [that] my aunt's older." *insert letters here, followed by asterisks* is a lot less subtle because just about any sixth grader, and maybe even lower, could spell it out.

But if they had more time, they would say it!
The villains...

I mean, who uses curse words anyway?
....

;)

Fishalicious

Hey, out of curiousity, do I need a warning? I mean, I say ** all the time.

I never actually have any particular expletives in mind, though-I just use the double asterisk to show that I mean a random expletive.

If I don't get a warning, then perhaps Dragmire could do the same as I. -nodnod-

Keaton

If it isn't obvious through either context or character replacement as to which expletive you're alluding to, then technically you're breaking no rules.

Rev Rabies

fisk, once you use actual letters in the word, then it's bad.



darkphantomime

I'd consider for 4 letter words, leaving just the first letter in but the rest, asterisks, tolerable. But that's just my point of view on the manner

Sadly, I believe Jack felt otherwise, didn't he?
