Note: This message is not directed to any one group of people. It is directed to all users due to the fact that I have noticed alot of people breaking rules the past few days.

Do not abuse, or 'test' the swear filter, it is not there for you to play with. Also, thanks to scratcher, I will probably be tightning the swear filter since he proved that some people just wont behave (I guess loosing the restraints wasn't a good idea). The swear filter is there in hopes of keeping people from offending people on our site. The internet is public domain where any 8 year old can accidently come upon our site and see your posts. It is just there for incase you slip and accidently swear, it will block it out into a nice word simular to what you said, you should not purposely swear, it is wrong (yes I know, even I can get ticked and let a few go). If you can't behave yourself or cannot control yourself to abide by the rules, but I hate to say it, but we will not tolerate it and it would be better if you left untill you learned how.

Also, if you have not read the rules page, you should do so now.

Why a swear filter? We are humans, not animals.

The human is an animal by definition, and eh.. some people just don't know how to behave, thus there is a swear filter, to protect the innocent.

Hence the rule, no by passing the swear filter. Don't do it again, but I will not delete it do to the fact you were making a demonstration.

Rules:
-No swearing, we have a swear filter
-Do not by pass the swear filter
Extra rules:
-if the staff wants a clean board, they will need a spelling checker too.
(but I guess at least one staffmember will not agree)

ps: can you still swear in other languages or is that forbidden too?

We're not impressed, offended, or affected in any way. Just thought you'd like to know, in case you're expecting laughter from your comments.
