Suggested Rule

RE: Suggested Rule
I can think of a lot of terribly rude things without ever outright swearing, too. It's part of the problem with privileging certain special magic swearwords; with the proper intersections of meaning, pretty much anything you say can become terrible. Tongue

I have yet to see where the rules or the big wigs encourage forum members to be obnoxious, vulgar, or offensive. Ive seen many accounts banned for that including my own.

I dont think I have even made a thread with claims as foolish as rev is making.

It's banter, son.

(After all this is an international website) and If I can curse and use foul language in some other form...say Finish or German or Italian, will this be acceptable?

Indeed. I could say, for example, that something is "the shit" or "the bollocks" and, although using 'naughty' words, I'd actually be paying a compliment.

'Jävla hora och självbefläckande incestbög' has a nice ring to it...

So does my arse but its acceptability is limited Big Grin

Telling someone that you deem them so horribly broken that they deserve eternal fiery torture if they don't buy your product springs to mind. But no-one here would do that, surely..?

And then what would your poor, hardworking, underpaid Staff have to do for sport?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
