Grumpy git time and tee'ing myself up for potential abuse.... :(
OOF is primarily a blokey site for talking assorted 'dangle berries' about Omega and other Top Geary style things, there are also a number of female and junior members who also enjoy the cameraderie and banter.
Without going down the granny knows best/PC route, we request that members use language here that does not potentially offend.
A swear filter is inbuilt into OOF but, as we all can see, its easily circumvented by use of fly letters and other symbols. Without wanting to impose draconian swear filter measures again, can we please use the language of common decency?
Not all who frequent here live/work on building sites or workshops where foul language is the norm. At the same time, they know its there, and just prefer to talk in a decent adult fashion without resorting to playground emphasis.
ta..... :y.

I'm not shy..... :o
Its all about content.... There are assorted words that would make a docke blush if used in a particular context and even TB, when roused, does not resort to those. Common sweary words are one thing, wholsesale blue profanity is quite another... :y

Agreed :y :y :y

I know, I often abbreviate a swear word esspecially if peeved.
It allways depends on content and context. Sadly it sometimes has gotton an angry overtone to which in turn has resulted in members leaving. Shame we have these moments but I must admit it has seemed a lut better recently, dont know if the alert a moderator button has made a difference.

If we have to watch what we type & i think we should (i know certain member's little one's watch over Daddie's shoulder). Then the same should apply right across the board, ie avatars

If either of my two were looking over my shoulder when I logged in here and they saw profanities, I wouldn't be blaming anyone apart from myself for allowing them to look in the first place......because I already know the arena I'm walking in to.

But the admins own the club and make the rules.If they say it cant happen then its discussion finished really isnt it. ;)

That is where the NWS warning works so well, so that if Miss Vamps, for example, is looking in I know what to miss.

Whilst fully understanding an expletive when hitting your thumb with a hammer etc.....I`m really not a fan of 'day-to-day' profane swearing.
Not being prudish; but, there are one or two members whom seem to go out of their way to offend......
Blokey-bloke humour and banter makes OOF a very enjoyable place to visit, but please remember, there should also be a bit of respect for some of us non-swearers. ;D
-
I thoroughly agree with your sentiments swearing is not necessary nor is agression of which I have seen several examples of today :y

Sorry :-[
I am probably one of the worst for circumventing the profanity filter and I swear like tommy in the trenches.......

You only have to spend 5 minutes on the forums that allow any language to know that having these boundaries is a good thing. Leave all the pathetic swearing-every-other-word to the Saxo boys :y :y
-
I can swear with the best of them/you at appropriate times, but accept it as a challenge to not indulge in it on a public forum.
It's hard sometimes, mind! :D
-
It was indeed fearsome for a while......

Here we go again. I never ask a veggie to eat meat. I never try to convert a non smoker but some of you can't help but tell us the harm it does, NEWSFLASH we know. I also don't knock on church doors at hours that don't suit offering leaflets on Atheism. The reason i do none of these is that i can accept differences in folk & don't feel the need to impose my beliefs on others.
Any site is viewed via a monitor as is television which is full of swearing & much more so you limit childrens/easily offended folks viewing accordingly. Swearing is a part of life & our language whether you like it or not. Some should stop sitting in judgement of others & find something more constructive to do.
It's only a word or a sound. If you don't want to swear don't, i won't ask you to so don't ask me not to.
I've managed not to swear suffice to say this holier than thou approach irritates me somewhat!!!!!
Live & let live for.......crying out loud ::)
-
I swear a hell of a lot in general, but then again everyone in my family does and we always have don't know why, but it hasn't seemed to offend anyone, as Amigo said it's only a word. I agree with what Amego said to be honest.

I think you've missed the point, if a TV program contains bad language which offends, you can switch it off, if your reading a post on here, which may be an interesting discussion, and then come across a posting in that discussion which contains (in my opinion) unnecessary bad language, then that is wrong.
This is a car forum, first and foremost, for Omega owners, and for anyone who has an interest in cars.
Bad language could put off owners from joining.
The difference, as I see it, you pretty well know which TV programs contain bad language, so you can choose to watch, or not, as the case may be.
You can be unprepared to come across a post that contains bad language.
Are you saying that it's alright for every television program to contain foul language? Even children's, news and weather forecasts etc?
I don't think so!
There's a time and place for everything.
One little word that seem's to be lacking in the English language these days is 'RESPECT'.

Firstly, Auto Addict & your comments on sweary telly. You began with "Are you saying?" This is how wives argue with thier husbands as in "What's that supposed to mean?" It means what i said & if you read the post carefully i said telly is full of swearing, sex, drugs & violence which it is. I was merely making a valid point & never said i approved so don't put words into my mouth.
We have never effe'd & geffe'd freely on here & i'm not suggesting we do. Up til now we've been happy to say break or add an asteric...* to get a point across & has been fine for the 2 years i've been here & i've adhered to the rule. Now we must'nt do that either???? I always accepted that as a fair comprimise, some middle ground.
Once again i hear the old chestnut :- this is a car forum. If you want it that cold & clinical get rid of the general chat so you can all wear your anoraks & talk about Omegas & nothing else. If that's all anyone wants in life then i feel sorry for you, as admins you put gen disc in so it's of your own doing...if you want a car only forum then i dare you to delete general discussion, go on do it...if not stop whinging. >:(

I get the feeling that break and a few*** arent the problem Guy,I have seen the C word with a *in place of a U being used quite a few times recently.I may be wrong but I think its probably more about that. :-/ :y

Come on, don't dare the admin team! You'll only end up spoiling it for the rest of us!
Swearing is always going to be controversial, we all just need to agree to differ and respect the rules of OUR site! :y
-
just cos swearing is all around us does not mean it has to be accepted here
its their forum so its only fair we respect their rules
every second word out my mouth is a swear word but i respect the rules.

Try not to swear.... fair play !.
It's a subject whereby its obvisouly offended some people of lately, hence why the subject has cropped up in a thread to all.
And I've propably been guilty of a little swearing by changing a few letters etc. And okay so from now on I'll moderate my responses before I post them. So hopefully I won't inadvertantly offend anyone else in future.
Problem is though, as in life, what's okay & accepable for one person, is unacceptable for someone else - Where does it end, and how do you start to implementing guildlines, because regarding them as to what is okay, what isn't due to each individual person reading is going to be difficult ?.
Yes there are 'moderators' on here to moderate, but I think one of the worries that people have is that is it going to start to feel like a 'big brother' on here if we have to start getting in line with 'draconian measures', which obviously could put people off, and then they leave.
We're all adults on here, and I think that if something is bothering you that you have a right to say on here that it has. However, like it has been pointed out, it isn't like you're chatting to an individual (unless PM's of course).
You're have right if your offended to say about it, but let's be honest about it, this is an open forum, and offending will happen on here every now and then, unless every post is screened before being posted, and let's face it, that's not going to happen.
And here's where problems will exist, no matter how good the 'moderators' / owners are at trying their best to keep all happy (don't probably get thanked enough by us all), there's going to be issues amongst us from time to time.
Like to think that we all have some sensibility on here, and we try to respect all. And I for one will try not to 'directly' offened anyone if I can, but I know that I may have already upset one or two 'indirectly'.
As for advitars, that's another area that's difficult to rule on what is okay & what isn't ?. There are some personal advitars that are on here that I don't personally like, but it's that persons choice to use that one, and I can ignore them if it's going to bother me that much. But then that's me, I can.
Let's face it, humour on here is a difficult one to judge, as in written form it doesn't always translate well !.
So.... where do we go from here on then ....?.
I'm sure this is one thread that will go on for some time yet (unless it's locked). Would be interesting reading other comments on here ?.
One last thing, if I have upset anyone with some slight swaring, then I appolgise to you public here on the forum, and will be aware of trying not to in future. But like I've said, we're all different, and we're all human (regarding me - just !).

I really cant see this thread ending in concensus. ::)

Hi Albs & LLjay. There is no need for the c word. I may have used it posting a joke with a* but agreed i probably should'nt have, fair go as it is unsuitable, but to stop it altogether is too much.
Once again whist i agree there should be standards we should all adhere to let's not spoil a sucessful forum by over policing it. ::)

I don't think it will Steve. Some folk are too intolerant of others. I've never asked anyone to stop doing/saying anything so expect to be afforded the same privilege. Sadly it seems there is no even keel on here.
I'm really hoping this site does'nt get too precious & full of sycophants that it loses sight of what made it the sucess it is. Being a peoples site this would be a crying shame.

I get the feeling that break and a few*** arent the problem Guy,I have seen the C word with a *in place of a U being used quite a few times recently.I may be wrong but I think its probably more about that. :-/ :y
Indeed Albs; `twas 'that word' I was particularly thinking about......
Such language would not be acceptable in Tesco, the Doctor`s waiting room, in the street or indeed in front of children, ladies (or any Police Officer).....why is it then ok on a very-public forum?......You may be sat comfortably in your house, but you are posting in a very-public place.
'Big Brother' seems to be cited whenever self control is requested, is it now fair play to say ANYTHING to anyone (provided to can`t see them)?.......I do get the feeling that if the obscenity filter wasn`t there, then (for some) all pretence of self control would go out of the window really quickly. :'(
I think some common decency and a bit of respect when in mixed company shows respect for each other; our OOF friends. ;)
I like a laugh and a joke and I also know human nature; `people swear, it`s a fact!.....but, it`s the ones whom would seem to go out of their way to give pejorative and gratuitous offence, that I think are the focus of this thread`s intention, NOT everyone.
Long may OOF carry on being a fun and interesting place to come visit and still remain free of the 'darkness' that plagues many other car-based forums. :-*

No, I'm nice. Ask Lizzie :-*
You can be nice, very nice and funny, but many times you portray yourself as bad, and when you are bad STMO you are wickedly bad!! [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]
Ey up Steve sounds like you're in there mate. ;D ;D

I get the feeling that break and a few*** arent the problem Guy,I have seen the C word with a *in place of a U being used quite a few times recently.I may be wrong but I think its probably more about that. :-/ :y
Indeed Albs; `twas 'that word' I was particularly thinking about......
Such language would not be acceptable in Tesco, the Doctor`s waiting room, in the street or indeed in front of children, ladies (or any Police Officer).....why is it then ok on a very-public forum?......You may be sat comfortably in your house, but you are posting in a very-public place.
'Big Brother' seems to be cited whenever self control is requested, is it now fair play to say ANYTHING to anyone (provided to can`t see them)?.......I do get the feeling that if the obscenity filter wasn`t there, then (for some) all pretence of self control would go out of the window really quickly. :'(
I think some common decency and a bit of respect when in mixed company shows respect for each other; our OOF friends. ;)
I like a laugh and a joke and I also know human nature; `people swear, it`s a fact!.....but, it`s the ones whom would seem to go out of their way to give pejorative and gratuitous offence, that I think are the focus of this thread`s intention, NOT everyone.
Long may OOF carry on being a fun and interesting place to come visit and still remain free of the 'darkness' that plagues many other car-based forums. :-*
I think posts with big words I dont understand should be banned
;D
;D Ignorance!.....you don`t even know the meaning of the word! ;D

STMO123 you need to grow up

Come on give him a break, he is only 12 ;D

All this banter still does'nt detract from the fact we're expected to bow down to the minority should we offend them. The odd *** should suffice as a happy medium but some want it all thier own way.

I was actually meaning what the Thread was meant.
I personally think that some of the language is over the top, I swear as much as the next person, not so in front of people that don't swear and my Nanna.. we can all slip up now and again but find it hard to believe that you can slip up whilst typing.....
This is pointed at no one in particular so I dont want anyone getting arsey with me :y

Tell you what. i'm gonna carry on in my own sweet way & you can take it, leave it or delete my membership. This whole thread whilst amusing is rather ridiculous & ill thought. Get a grip & stop playing god & pandering to an over sensitive minority, most of us could'nt care less, the rest should get real.
I'm past the point of caring & sad to see this becoming an issue in the first place, sorry Broocie. As for AA's comment it's hardly worth any further reply.
I'll never agree so pick the bones out of that. Membership is growing but if it's at the cost of an easy going forum then i wish you all the best but it's not for me.

Maybe they should shut general chat/discussion down. Some of them like to keep reminding us it's just a car forum. Let's see which one has the bottle to do it. Pass my anorak. ::)

I truly hope so. Because I think it's funny. If people want to get so deep that they start taking it personally, it's time for bed.

I find it somewhat dissapointing that the simple original post asking folks to consider their use of language has been hijacked by some who are using words like:
small minded, draconian, whinging, intolerant and from
amigov
All this banter still does'nt detract from the fact we're expected to bow down to the minority should we offend them
May I ask just how you decided that the "majority" wish to swear and only a "minority" dislike it ???
As I see it, the whole point was made very early on ... but some folks just won't see it ... it is all about respecting others opinions and views .. but some just want their own way under the banner of "freedom".... please remember .. if you demand a right, you, by definition, give others the right to make demands as well.
The English language is the most beautiful language and has more descriptive words than any other, swearing and "masked" swearing just demonstrates a lack of vocabulary as well as that lack of respect.

I cant help feeling some nerves have been touched for no good reason on this thread. I'm quite capable of some colourful language myself when emotions run high so I'm not about to cast judgement either way.
What I will say is - have a look at some of the car forums where "anything goes" language wise, or anything else, for that matter. How much useful information is there, and how easy is it to find within the other noise? Do you see members going well beyond the call of duty to help each other out with problems, car or otherwise? Do you see people making lifelong friendships? Coming to the forum for comfort when life deals them savage blows? Do you see the above happening in the way it does on OOF?
Not IMHO. The "feel" of the place becomes more aggressive, people batten down the hatches, take what they want and look after number one. Now, I don't believe a few choice words are necessarily going to tip the balance but there's a slippery slope there somewhere and I, amongst others, really don't want to see us sliding towards it.
So, all I will say is, I don't think Hotel21's post, or any other, for that matter, should be taken personally. Before we start worrying about a nanny state controlling OOF or the "liberal minority" taking over let's consider what type of forum we want. One where a scattering of dodgy words add colour to the more emotional posts without causing offence - or an out and out online war zone?
It's up to us at the end of the day.

I understand exactly what you are saying Kevin. But I'd like to think that the core of this forum is far too strong to be split by petty bickering. I've noticed that when a new member joins with an attitude and bad mouths an existing member, others rally and defend the spirit of the forum.

It's not so much the language at times, it's the attirude and aggresiveness thats behind it that causes more of the problems.

Why not lock this now, I don't think anything else can be realistically said to enhance the discourse of the OP :( :(

In all seriousness,I think if one or two members understood STMO123,s sense of humour and didnt take it all so seriously, they would save themselves a fair bit of aggravation.It would spoil his fun though. ;) ::)

Some very important points made here - trust me, as a newcomer, I felt at home asking 'stupid' questions after a very short time and the attitude of the members was always helpful on here. I would recommend it to anyone. This is in stark contrast to a lot of other forums which seem to have a lot of aggressive members getting one up on each other because of the anonymity it affords
I like the forum as it is, everyone seems to know the boundaries and if it takes a stern reminder every now and then, so be it. Serious questions can be asked in the relevant section and we can have a laugh in the other one - it works very well.
Consider us told ;D ;D ;D

I think most would agree with what you have said there matey :y
That fact of the matter is that everyone of us has joined here, been a newbie asking what you think are daft questions (some of us still ask them ::)) we all learn something new on here. In a different area there is a place where you can all laugh and joke, like has been said many times "like being in the pub". Not everyone will get some peoples sense of humour not all will get on that is life. :y
-
Why not lock this now, I don't think anything else can be realistically said to enhance the discourse of the OP :( :(
if we do, we'll be accused of nanny state. though to be honest, I don't give a monkeys what people think of me, admins, or oof - while sufficient demand is there, I guess there will always be an oof in one form or another.
so, no, lets get this one out in the open, get it over and done with, and return to some friggin sanity.

i couldnt care less what anyone says about me, the more you bite the more your get it, only some people are more sensitive than others and cannot take the banter. thats when its time to stop befors it affects everyone

Ooooo.... Tin of worms as anticipated... :-[
Requoting Ye Olde Poste Original Number One of this thread...
Grumpy git time and tee'ing myself up for potential abuse.... :(
OOF is primarily a blokey site for talking assorted 'dangle berries' about Omega and other Top Geary style things, there are also a number of female and junior members who also enjoy the cameraderie and banter.
Without going down the granny knows best/PC route, we request that members use language here that does not potentially offend.
A swear filter is inbuilt into OOF but, as we all can see, its easily circumvented by use of fly letters and other symbols. Without wanting to impose draconian swear filter measures again, can we please use the language of common decency?
Not all who frequent here live/work on building sites or workshops where foul language is the norm. At the same time, they know its there, and just prefer to talk in a decent adult fashion without resorting to playground emphasis.
ta..... :y.
The highlighted part is the nub of the matter.
The use of no holds barred 'cussing and blinding' in the workplace is very much one thing but would you say the same things in the High Street or in the middle of Tesco's, still at a sufficient volume so that anyone who was passing could still see/read what you said?
Effectively, thats what you do by posting here.
I am in no way a prude and can join swear words into a sensible sentence with the best of them - 7 years at sea in the merchant navy and a career thereafter in the polis has learned me well.
Debs - agree with the thumb/hammer bit. Done it myself more times than I can remember. I try to reduce the number of times I type such language into a forum page though, particularly not taking the time to use assorted wild card letters to circumvent any inbuilt swear filter.
Guy - I really do see where you are coming from. You personally do not (overly) swear in posts, despite being a gobby chap thats not shy at getting his point across. Your type of historic comments are not those that rattled my cage. :y
What does annoy me ( and numerous others, judging by the content of the PM boxes of myself and other admins) is that very limited few who appear to go out of their way to cause general offence, either by their use of explicatives or other genarally abusive, in yer face, love me or leave me language.
I find the latter wholly against the spirit of what we attempt to achieve here (and have done, I think....) whilst retaining a balance thats acceptable . By that, I'm not talking about what you should whisper in church but ask that we use language that is acceptable in the standards of common decency.
Like others have said, I also frequent other forums where an 'anything goes' attitude by the admins is the norm and, frankly, its like standing outside the boys lav in a secondary school at breaktime and listening to the weekend heros giving it large, thinking that they are superheros as they can join sweary words together or make it rhyme so as it sounds like they are not, if you follow?
All I attempted to do was to ask that we, collectively, observe a wee line drawn in the sand as to thread content so as not to come across as either abusive, aggressive, or downright lacking in words such that swear words of the stronger variety, are deemed a requirement to get a weak point across.
regards
H21
ps - Doog - I also think your avatar is very much treading a thin line mate.... But thats a personal preference, not an admin one. There are other admins who have also viewed it and have left it, so why should I give you grief?

But it hasn't so far, scare off new members or become like other forums. Because, as I said earlier, it's not like other forums. You/we have built something special here and I, personally, like it just as it is.

I think it is that "spirit of the forum" that Kevin and H21 are trying to protect as well. This is not the first time the subject has been raised recently .. yet I don't remember it ever being raised in the first year or so of my membership ... so something has changed, and not for the better..
-
I cant help feeling some nerves have been touched for no good reason on this thread. I'm quite capable of some colourful language myself when emotions run high so I'm not about to cast judgement either way.
What I will say is - have a look at some of the car forums where "anything goes" language wise, or anything else, for that matter. How much useful information is there, and how easy is it to find within the other noise? Do you see members going well beyond the call of duty to help each other out with problems, car or otherwise? Do you see people making lifelong friendships? Coming to the forum for comfort when life deals them savage blows? Do you see the above happening in the way it does on OOF?
Not IMHO. The "feel" of the place becomes more aggressive, people batten down the hatches, take what they want and look after number one. Now, I don't believe a few choice words are necessarily going to tip the balance but there's a slippery slope there somewhere and I, amongst others, really don't want to see us sliding towards it.
So, all I will say is, I don't think Hotel21's post, or any other, for that matter, should be taken personally. Before we start worrying about a nanny state controlling OOF or the "liberal minority" taking over let's consider what type of forum we want. One where a scattering of dodgy words add colour to the more emotional posts without causing offence - or an out and out online war zone?
It's up to us at the end of the day.

The use of no holds barred 'cussing and blinding' in the workplace is very much one thing but would you say the same things in the High Street or in the middle of Tesco's, still at a sufficient volume so that anyone who was passing could still see/read what you said?
LOL, I guess you've never shopped in Bletchley Tescos, when the 30yr old grandmother retaliates to the shop staff who have just pulled up little Chardonnay for shoplifting ;D

Yes, I have - perhaps not the same Tesco's - but I would bet that if the same cherub/parent/grandparent/great grandparent/great great grandparent was later presented with a written transcript that I bet she would be embarrased... :-/

I find it somewhat dissapointing that the simple original post asking folks to consider their use of language has been hijacked by some who are using words like:
small minded, draconian, whinging, intolerant and from
amigov
All this banter still does'nt detract from the fact we're expected to bow down to the minority should we offend them
May I ask just how you decided that the "majority" wish to swear and only a "minority" dislike it ???
As I see it, the whole point was made very early on ... but some folks just won't see it ... it is all about respecting others opinions and views .. but some just want their own way under the banner of "freedom".... please remember .. if you demand a right, you, by definition, give others the right to make demands as well.
The English language is the most beautiful language and has more descriptive words than any other, swearing and "masked" swearing just demonstrates a lack of vocabulary as well as that lack of respect.

Mr. superior Entwood again telling us that swearing shows a weakness of mind & intellect so devoid of vocabulary that we resort to swearing because we are thick as two short planks & have little or no command of our own language.
This is for YOU Entwood, where would we be without you to tell us how mind numbingly stupid we really are. Thankyou for your superior wisdom & feel free to add your name in it's infinate wisdom to this song. ::)

Its not the kind of society I want to live in. As you said in original post, a bit of respect isn't difficult and is free.

I had to laugh reading this as years ago my Mum got stopped by a copper for something, anyway whatever it was for he wrote down what Mum had said. When she was in front of others suppose court and the copper read out what Mum had said "Mrs. Dunn answered "Charming" she said that she had never felt so embarrassed...
Oh well I thought it was funny ;D

Ooooo.... Tin of worms as anticipated... :-[
Requoting Ye Olde Poste Original Number One of this thread...
Grumpy git time and tee'ing myself up for potential abuse.... :(
OOF is primarily a blokey site for talking assorted 'dangle berries' about Omega and other Top Geary style things, there are also a number of female and junior members who also enjoy the cameraderie and banter.
Without going down the granny knows best/PC route, we request that members use language here that does not potentially offend.
A swear filter is inbuilt into OOF but, as we all can see, its easily circumvented by use of fly letters and other symbols. Without wanting to impose draconian swear filter measures again, can we please use the language of common decency?
Not all who frequent here live/work on building sites or workshops where foul language is the norm. At the same time, they know its there, and just prefer to talk in a decent adult fashion without resorting to playground emphasis.
ta..... :y.
The highlighted part is the nub of the matter.
The use of no holds barred 'cussing and blinding' in the workplace is very much one thing but would you say the same things in the High Street or in the middle of Tesco's, still at a sufficient volume so that anyone who was passing could still see/read what you said?
Effectively, thats what you do by posting here.
I am in no way a prude and can join swear words into a sensible sentence with the best of them - 7 years at sea in the merchant navy and a career thereafter in the polis has learned me well.
Debs - agree with the thumb/hammer bit. Done it myself more times than I can remember. I try to reduce the number of times I type such language into a forum page though, particularly not taking the time to use assorted wild card letters to circumvent any inbuilt swear filter.
Guy - I really do see where you are coming from. You personally do not (overly) swear in posts, despite being a gobby chap thats not shy at getting his point across. Your type of historic comments are not those that rattled my cage. :y
What does annoy me ( and numerous others, judging by the content of the PM boxes of myself and other admins) is that very limited few who appear to go out of their way to cause general offence, either by their use of explicatives or other genarally abusive, in yer face, love me or leave me language.
I find the latter wholly against the spirit of what we attempt to achieve here (and have done, I think....) whilst retaining a balance thats acceptable . By that, I'm not talking about what you should whisper in church but ask that we use language that is acceptable in the standards of common decency.
Like others have said, I also frequent other forums where an 'anything goes' attitude by the admins is the norm and, frankly, its like standing outside the boys lav in a secondary school at breaktime and listening to the weekend heros giving it large, thinking that they are superheros as they can join sweary words together or make it rhyme so as it sounds like they are not, if you follow?
All I attempted to do was to ask that we, collectively, observe a wee line drawn in the sand as to thread content so as not to come across as either abusive, aggressive, or downright lacking in words such that swear words of the stronger variety, are deemed a requirement to get a weak point across.
regards
H21
ps - Doog - I also think your avatar is very much treading a thin line mate.... But thats a personal preference, not an admin one. There are other admins who have also viewed it and have left it, so why should I give you grief?
Bruce ive been here every day for almost a year and have never had any complaints about my pic
I know the differerence between sailing close to the wind and over stepping the mark and personaly i dont think i over stepped the mark
Because you have commented on it asto be inappropriate i have now changed it :y
Doug
-
Doog - not saying you have, just not my personal avatar of choice on a forum. Different folks for different strokes and all that, it just walks my personal thin line, not neccesarily that of others... :y
-
Good grief !!! I've had to skip through most of this thread as it descended into utter twaddle.
Most of us have used the odd * to make a swear word more "acceptable". An example would be my post heading "Scummy little Sh*t's" ('cos basically that's what they are !) earlier this evening. We all know (or should know) what is and isn't "acceptable"
As for the statement along the lines of "we hear it all around us", at the end of the day the use of bad language in public is an arrestable offence that carries an £80 fine.
Prolific use of bad language is a sure sign of a distinct lack of vocabulary.
-
I understand what you were saying Bruce
Im not here to upset or offend anyone so i changed it for one slightly less "close to the wind"
I have no issues with that

Cheers Doog. :y

The odd profanity here & there is a part of everyday life & can be expressive if used in the right context so in no way detaches from the command of the english language, yes i hold a grade a old fashioned o level so am more than capable of saving a few quid in the swear box Entwood.
Should i blaspheme it's because i choose to not that i'm devoid of an alternative so take your head out of your arse. ::)

My understanding is that people swear because they lack the vocabulary to express their views/opinions properly. :question
In talking to people i find this acceptable,as the there is a requirement to respond quickly, but online where people have to take the time to type out replies or have the luxury of taking time to phrase their replies, i have less tolerance.
Yes, there are times when it is tolerated, as it makes a point succinctly, but where will it end ?
do we end up communicating in smiley faces and LOL's ?

It constantly surprises (disappoints?) me that this is the ONLY forum of the 16 that I frequent where Admins dont discipline known trouble makers or rule breakers......
Its all warnings.......
If there is never examples shown of the ulitmate deterrent (bans) then there will ALWAYS be people deliberately breaking rules or antagonising other members to try and get their backs up.......
I can think of a few names straight away who this would apply to......!!!
Come on Admins, start to take control a bit...........???

Ass has been kicked (off in at least one case)before,and I,m sure it will be again if it is deemed necessary.Thing is,the admins dont like to run things like a primary school,they prefer not to constantly interfere.That of course depends on us having fun and banter in" the pub",without smashing beer bottles over each others heads,so to speak.

i have tried getting him out john .he will not have it.i have let him read this thread that didnt move him ,spose i wil have to kick his as! oops i mean bottom. its all the medication i am taking.i feel like that gravedigger walking around the cemetry ! yup .lost the plot ;D ;D 8-) :y

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear :'(....
What next? Are we going to stop all posts on the forum until a moderator has read it and approved it? Yes, I know that there’s no need for swearing for no real reason, but this is just getting daft, infact I cant believe I’m wasting my time typing this…. Anyway….
I have to agree with what Guy has said (at the beginning of this thread)
End of the day, were all adults on here (not that you would think it from time to time), and we all know that swearwords exist, and in the past I myself have used them to express my feeling towards something (normally repairing the Mig / PC or something of the like!)
I personally don’t see any problems in swearing, yes if your doing it all the time for no real reason, then again in my opinion your just an idiot with a limited vocabulary, simple as! But that said, where’s the harm in the odd ‘****ing this and that’ if you have had a bad day and paid out loads of hard cash to have something repaired? or had your car stolen or something?? Its all about painting the bigger picture, and sometimes swearwords are helpful in doing so. I don’t want to read plane boring text all day long. If I wanted to do that, I would go and buy news papers or something else dull like that!
And to say that this is a car forum were we essentially only talk about Omegas and Top Geary type questions is FAR FAR from the truth. If that was all that we talked about on here, I for one would be heading straight for the door :(

If you read H21 first 2 postings on page 1,I think its clear that he wasnt trying to be draconian or nanny knows best,just asking people to be a bit more considerate to those (including children sometimes)who may be reading what you have written. ;)
In fact iirc he uses the word 'dangle berries' in the first post which indicates to me that no one is trying to turn it into a Sunday school. :y

Must admit, my post is a bit random, as when I started typing it out there was only 10 pages! I clicked on 'post' and it shot up to 17 somehow? :o
And im not that slow at typing! ;D

You are missing the point a bit...
Agree we all can swear as and when and a wee vent on line has done most of us some good at some time.
Whats requested in my original post is that we do not go overboard and to keep a lid on things.
Admin/mods neither wish nor require to pre-read posts. I used to use a forum where such a thing was done and it was like reading books in the library and trying to hold a converstation - unworkable....
Likewise, do not come across as overtly aggressive.
Type as you would want to be read by??
Sounds twee and really quite cack but its been a long day and simply trying to get the gist across.
I dont think that anyone wants to read posts that are overly nicey nicey and gushing in flowery prose but, at the same time, no one (I think) wants to read assorted smut and crap by those who insist on circumventing the swear filter by use of wild card letters and symbols nor inbdeed by being in your face aggressive in the content of their posts.

I dont think that anyone wants to read posts that are overly nicey nicey and gushing in flowery prose but, at the same time, no one (I think) wants to read assorted smut and crap by those who insist on circumventing the swear filter by use of wild card letters and symbols nor inbdeed by being in your face aggressive in the content of their posts.
I do Dad to the highlighted parts no to the rest :-* ;D :P
eejit... ;D
Sorry to let you down :( :( but I do try honest :P

You are missing the point a bit...
Agree we all can swear as and when and a wee vent on line has done most of us some good at some time.
Whats requested in my original post is that we do not go overboard and to keep a lid on things.
Admin/mods neither wish nor require to pre-read posts. I used to use a forum where such a thing was done and it was like reading books in the library and trying to hold a converstation - unworkable....
Likewise, do not come across as overtly aggressive.

Yes but Captain you know why he knows me so well....
Sure you can remember so long ago when you were at school, the girl you fancied, you always made fun out of.... but deep down loved her to pieces.. Well this is a similar thing, he has to be big and tough as of his Northern Breeding (which actually flows in my blood too) :D :D ;D ::) :P
