norfolkchance1 0 Posted May 26, 2008 I''m probably going to get some stick for saying this.I think some people are writing things on the boards that would never have been able to be posted previously due to moderation. No-one minds using asteriks e.t.c. on the odd occasion but some people are writing the full word and just adding an * in the middle and posting.I haven''t got a problem with most of it but there is an increasing amount of unecessary swearing being used and I know I am not the only person whose noticed this.Everyone likes free speech and want''s to air their views like they would in the street but when they said they were removing moderation there were certain rules we had to abide by.

But what I''m saying is some people have written things that when under moderation would not have been posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who use swearing every other word show they have no/or very little knowledge of the English language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted May 26, 2008 There''s not an awful lot of swearing going on though is there? There is some but it''s just reflective of the society we live in, walk 100 yards down a busy street tomorrow and see how many different swear words you hear.

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted May 26, 2008 I must admit that i''m probably one of the worst for this, i just seem to write like i would say it where as before when things were moderated i would always be careful about what i was saying as to not have to write the post again. I did e-mail the Mod''s and pre-warn them about my use of language and the way my attitude would be if someone were to upset me. I promise there will be no more beastiality and maybe i might have to change some of the jokes on the joke thread but as for the swearing, i just cant fucking help myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
