Language

Post by Demmerz »

Just a quick note regarding swearing on the site.

The mods will mostly leave it be as most of the bad language on here is comparatively mild, but can everyone just keep a check on the language they are using please?

This is not yet a major problem but it is one that needs adressing before this site loses its civility and becomes Superarcadia. I don't really relish the idea of editing or deleting hundreds of posts but I will do if I have to.

The simple rule is: use your common sense when posting.

Come on folks, please keep your language under control. It's getting a little tedious constantly editing posts to make them more respectable. Just keep tabs what you post please.

Good call Dmz, there has been a few spates of 'obscenities' - usually from severe beer-intake!

I have been known to 'edit accordingly', shall we say? ;)

I personally would adopt the same stance that football referees tend to take.


If a striker misses an open goal from 6 yards and yells "F**K", then he shouldn't be admonished for it. If he swears abusively at another player or the ref, he should be sent off.

Similarly, if someone is describing flinging £200 into a Hot Shot machine and not even getting a hold, then I would let them away with a few effings and blindings. But if it's used abusively against another member of this board, or in place of the word "very", then I'm all for censorship!

LOL @ Streakage - the death of Arcadia has saddened me only in the fact that I now have nowhere to go and see a complete bunch of mobys blooping each other and so such... :(

Heh-heh!
