[quote="TheCollector"] In the UK is a very very mild profanity, but I guess it means more in the US?

I don't even think I'd consider it as profanity. LOL That's just me though, but to some people it might be bad. :|

[quote="Cutie3409"]To be honest, I read the post and thought to myself, "What's wrong with the post???"

I really felt dumb! LOL I was like, is everyone seeing something I'm not? This person doesn't deserve a warning in my opinion...[/quote]

Hi Cutie {up}

I'm like you! I can't see anything that bad about it either. I am guessing it is the word "damn". Like I said above though it depends where you live as to the degree of its meaning. In the UK is a very very mild profanity, but I guess it means more in the US?

[quote="ozzman"]I agree with the collector. Little words like hell or damn arent that bad. Dropping the f bomb should be a no no. We shouldnt abuse the warning system. We have the power to edit posts so we can always erase them. Just my thoughts.[/quote]

There we go with the profanity again. Maybe we should send you a warning ozzman.

LOL just kidding :lol: .

Your thoughts are absolutely right. Those little words aren't a big deal, but "The F-Bomb" and other "Bombs" shouldn't be permitted.

Like you say, we have the power to erase and edit posts... so the warning system shouldn't be abused.

Hi all,

I agree with rpbluesman on this one {up}

I would totally agree with giving a warning for the usage of a very bad swear word, f-word etc.

You also have to appreciate that acceptance and usage of language differs depending which country the user is resident in. As we all know there are quite a large number of words which have different meanings between country, or their degree of meaning is different.

I think we should delete / edit such posts and PM the member to ask them not to use the same language in the future. If they then persist, then I wholeheartedly agree that the warning scheme should be used.

There is nothing to stop a moderator from leaving a post in this forum telling others that they have spotted and PM'ed a member, without resorting to warnings straight off.

Just my pennies worth :wink:

Well... I don't think that the user should be given a warning. I mean if the minimum age is 13, then don't you think that everybody is mature enough to handle a bad word or two.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think so highly of profanity, but a warning isn't really needed.

There are enough moderators to control the language. If we see any, then we just go and edit the post. I did that a while back when I saw some "questionable language".

I would only give a warning if the user keeps using profanity or just makes a profanity filled post.

Just my opinion.

rpbluesman :mrgreen:

I totally agree! Posts like that should not be allowed!
