I want to start this thread by saying that the majority of us use foul language atleast when we are losing our tempers, and some of us use it in common chats, but it is not appropriate on a child-friendly website such as Fishlore. That includes the common ones.

I have to edit a couple of posts a day just in the ones I see, and I don't usually go through each post. It seems people have tried pushing the bounds on this issue, mainly through relaxing their watch on their own language.

As a moderator it is our job to edit posts that contain cursing and issue warnings due to violation of the 'Terms of Service' agreement that everyone had to click 'I agree' on when they joined this site. Please, get control of it so that it doesn't become an issue. We really do not like having to discipline members. (That holds true for 1st day newcomers all the way to folks with several years on the site.)

A good rule of thumb is to review your post after posting it, if foul language is missing from your post, then it is deemed inappropriate and it will not show. It is not acceptable to break-up the word or *** out only part of it to avoid the warning... just don't use the language.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Bump.

I also want to add that, by the forum rules, swearing includes individual letters in an abbreviation that are meant to stand for anything not allowed in the forum.
This means that most follow-ups to "ROFL" are not going to be allowed in the forum.

The moderators have been busy lately editing posts.
Trying to bypass the system by disguising or purposely misspelling a curse word is also prohibited.

Please use the report button to notify the moderators if you come accross a post violating this (or any) rule.

Thank you.

Looks like it's time to bump this up.
Friendly reminder folks.

The moderators have had to edit several posts lately.
