It's just like being at school this! I'm always having to guess what the B, C, N, X, S words are

Sorry if I have offended anyone as I love the forum and I will not be swearing anymore, however the double standards need to addresed.
I thought this had been addressed via PM

Is there really a need to stir it up further?

In a way you have a point there I suppose, but regardless there's no place for it on AO as a term of endearment or any other reason..

I didn't think it got through? T**t. There I said it. Does it work?

EDIT: Yikes, it does. Have added self-censoring. Needs to be on swear filter if you ask me..

Re: Avoiding the swear sensors...

All getting off track here.

As Selespeed has originally mentioned (Post #1) and many of you have overlooked.

Members who deliberately avoid the swear sensor multiple times will collect infraction points from now on.
So...Deliberate Misuse of the swear filters/overly excessive swearing will be actioned upon.

It's a simple as that. It's not up for discussion.

If you have any comments then please by all means PM us.

Kind Regards

Joe
