Aster1x swear**g.
 

I've noticed recently that we seem to be slipping back into getting past the swearing issue by use of the asterix, or alpha-numeric words.

Could please we remember that this is a family forum, and besides having members here who are children, we also have people of all ages who mightn't want to read bad language, no matter how it's barely disguised.

I'm no prude, but for adult themed posts we have the over 18 section, and besides, I'm sure we all have the necessary vocabulary to say what we mean without having to resort to bad language.:)

There was a post about this from Mick, which makes it very clear what is, and isn't acceptable.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

leave Asterix alone , he's one of my heros , whats next .....a ban on TinTin

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I thought text talk was another one, that also seems to be slipping by the board.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

i agree with both of you on this subject, its not needed at all.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I agree, and when I slap people's wrists for it on the Stanley forum I get accused of being a bore ! :eek:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Just remove their posts if they argue back after rule braking. I thought argueing with a mod is also against the rules.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Well, that's me buggered then. First and final ban on it's way I suppose.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I will have to admit to being guilty of this, i presumed it ok because others were doing the same, point taken garinda, as it was when mick posted it, it does seem that a reminder was required though, there is no call for it, and no argument against it.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

It's not bleeping big and it's not bleeping clever :D


Just so the newbies like Garinda are aware, if a post offends press the red triangle :p

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

That would be great as it would help us no-end because at the end of the day, we can’t always view every single post that has been posted and it’s down to everyone to help look after accyweb.


:)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Well i must agree i am guilty of this but thought it was acceptable as i`d already seen it done. Its all very good and well having an 18 section but how do you get into that unless you are known to be 18? i`m well over believe me , i would like access , give it to me....Now. Only joking although as i`m approaching 1000 posts it would be nice.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Contact a moderator with proof of age, or get someone who knows you to vouch for your age....hey presto, you'll be in.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

If i contacted a mod what could i use as proof of age?

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Credit card number and the security code on the back usually swings it :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Pmsl:D i`m not that desperate!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I'm not sure, the usual way of verification is to get someone known to the mods to vouch for your age.

Don't you know anyone who has been to one of the Accy Web meets?

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You need to know someone who is in turn known to the mods who can verify your age.

I recently verified some ones age.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Thats me ******** then. lol

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Yes, for posting what you just did, considering the title of this thread.:(

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Oh sorry must have leant on the * key............like i said.......Thats me no chance then.:D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

As stated earlier, this is a family forum, and swearing, even when thinly disguised, is against forum rules.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Have you been eating a Ball of serious for your breakfast?? :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

No, I had 'em spread on toast.:p


I like a laugh, and have been known to go 'quite' near to the mark, but I hate swearing, especially on a forum where we have children as members, as well as quite a lot of adults who dislike it too.

Rules is rules, and we should all abide by them, myself included.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

By the way.... I was only joking..... but don't tell anyone!!

I also think this little fella should be on the warning list :icon_argu ( right pair of Roger rude mouth's these 2 ) :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Yes i was having a little joke to but don`t worry i won`t be using the little star type charecter that lives with number 8 again!!!!!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Step away from the 8 pip...... step away from the 8 :whip:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Pipinfort, dries his eyes , turns and waves goodbye for the last time to his only friend ............The Number 8 key.:(

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Here Pip .... play with this one!!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Pmsl.............Thanx....eeeerrrrrr oooops sorry is pmsl allowed? in fact don`t answer that i`m leaving this thread right now.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I'm sick of reading, and reporting, posts where people try and get round the swearing ban by use of an asterix.:mad:

Being a family site, this is also against the rules of this forum.

If you can't get across what you want to say, without using foul language, please feel free to make use of this thesaurus.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

i think that comment is aimed at me.
I am very sorry for my abusive language, i keep forgetting that it isnt allowed that kind of language on this forum.

Please accept my most humble apologies and be rest assured it wont happen again

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

What a shame we no longer have the bookies on here, I like a 1 horse race.
:D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Erm...you've lost me

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

what if we use x's instead of *'s

nah your right garinda shxt still stinks no matter how its dealt ;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

yeah..I've noticed and .... it's out of order.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

My comments aren't aimed at any particular person.

I think a reminder is due for all members of this family forum, and we do have members who are children, as well as a host of adults who find swearing offensive.

Now if you can just find a responsible adult, to vouch that you are over the age of eighteen, you can swear to your heart's content in the over-18's section.;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Garinda, i cant. Reason being is because i dont know anybody on this site personally, i dont have the time to meet anybody to vouch my age, due to the fact im either working or with my family, and you also cant believe me just by looking at my picture apparently.

So there you go.

Dont worry, Danny is a good boy from now on :)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Know you are right Garinda, but sometimes, just sometimes, nothing seems to fit better ... and words like 'pooh' seem more offensive than t'other ... :D

Being a little naive :rolleyes:, I do have problems at times working out what the asterisked ones are meant to be ... :)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

shut up you wimp!.. words of advice.. never grovel to these ******* ..they will skin you..hung skinned and battered..you'll end up like a scouser waiting to win the Premiership..no hope!

That's it stand up to mancie he's full of it;)

mancie that's all we need is a Leeds fan;)

Garinda there are other words that offend me more than a ***, muslims, poles, tories, Gordon Brown and the PC brigade to name a few;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Posting what offends you isn't against forum rules.;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Just a little reminder.

I've just reported a post that contained the most hated of all the four letter swear words, even though he must have thought this was acceptable by having a space between the middle letters.

This is a family site, and we do have children and young people as members, as well as countless others for whom foul language is unacceptable, no matter how thinly you try and disguise it, and try and get round the rules of this forum.

Jambutty, if you want to continue posting foul four letter words, there are plenty of adult sites were your bad language might be more appreciated. The majority of us here at Accy Web don't appreciate it, and quoting a karma message is no excuse.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I reported that as well and gave him bad karma for it. It has now been deleted along with a few other posts regarding it. I hope he received a severe warning for that, maybe a life ban would be ok ;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

We should be so lucky................:rolleyes:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Teh most hated of 4 letter words? I don't see whats so un family friendly about teh word


WO RK !!!!!!!!!!!


:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

[quote=garinda;625576]Just a little reminder.

I've just reported a post that contained the most hated of all the four letter swear words ,quote]


Jambutty does NOT have 4 letters.......;)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

That word doesn't go down well with the kids in our family! :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Dont mean to be a killjoy but have the mods stopped modding ? I have read 2 threads tonight on here in the last 10 mins and both have had unsuitable language or asterisks.
I know all you mods have a job and half checking the site but it seems to be the same culprits over and over again and yet they are still allowed to be members of this FAMILY site.
I know I should click the report button but whats the point when the culprits are not being dealt with.
Sorry Mods this isnt an attack on you but surely enough should be enough. I have also spoken to someone today that very rarely uses accyweb now for this reason. so I thought id check it out and low and behold they are right. its still blatantly being waved under everyones nose.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Just report the posts Cheokee, have done it myself in the past couple of weeks and posts have been deleted:)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Thats my point bernie the posts should be deleted of course but the culprits should be getting banned purely because they just keep doing it.
To them having a post deleted is nothing. they know they have got away with it as soon as they do it . the only way is to get shut .

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Name and shame please...............:eek:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Agree with what you are saying cherokee:)

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Dont need too pipinfort just read the posts.
it will soon become apparent

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

wouldnt be so bad if they kept the use to over 18s.
I myself have used asterisks in the past but then was asked (not personally) in a general thread by the mods not too, along with other members.
Since, most have stopped myself included, but others seem to think that they can get away with it because they have so many times.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You must report it
things are happening but we are very lenient as yet,
we do give infractions out and then we do ban but only in exceptional cases

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I too kicked the asterisk habit a while ago now......(**** just for old times sake..lol)

You know as well as I do that I was QUOTING what someone had put whilst awarding some Karma.

Never a truer word spoken.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Tell the truth Neil.

In your hurry to give me a piece of your mind you made the elementary and embarrassing error of awarding good Karma.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::tongueout

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You on one again Butt?

How long does it take you to keep up with a grudge?

that was posted at the start of the month and only one person finds fit to bring it BACK up?

Get a life, PLEASE!

http://planetsmilies.net/tired-sleeping-smiley-4635.gif

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Just where in the rules does it state that there is a time limit on posting in threads?

Let me see if I have got this right – when someone else brings up my past posts it is OK and applauded by certain members, but when I do exactly the same it is not OK and receives puerile comments.

If anyone needs to get a life it is you Less and whilst you’re at it, growing up would help.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

At it again Butt are you?

I don't need to quote the rules to you, you spend most of your time reading them so you can gain pleasure reporting even the slightest infraction.

I might need to grow up, (if your an example of what that means, no thanks), but you need to read what you've posted over the past year then in one of your lucid moments you'd realise you didn't used to be so senile.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Not me mate, I don't make that mistake. I have given you both good and bad but it was never an accident. I also dont think I have ever but swear words in a karma message

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

would it maybe be an idea to have a general 'argument' thread? that way everytime ppl wanna go off subject and bicker, they can go on there and not interfere with the OP??

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Wouldn't that only be encouraging them to argue?

Mind you, I do remember donkeys ages back a message board I co-Admined where we had 'the argybargy' board for a while. :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

a lot of threads seem to turn into bickering anyway, dependant on whos osting, so at least it would keep the OP open for a proper debate

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

That wouldnt be so bad but you can bet someone will carry it over to another thread lol...

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

At least Mick would have somewhere to shove them over to tho lol

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Arguing is one thing this thread is about bad language and that is not encouraged on this family forum

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You know Neil, you are right it wasn’t you.

When I woke up half an hour or so ago I did so with the thought in my head that it wasn’t you but someone else.

My apologies.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I am speechless

You just went up in my estimations.......a little anyway

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You quoted two separate posts.

My original post wasn't aimed at any particular member, there were a few culprits doing it at the time.

I named and shamed you when you decided it was okay to post the 'c' word on a family forum. Something that still shocks and offends me, and I guess I'm not alone.:mad:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

You're not on your own, Garinda.

I'm a long way from being a prude but that is one word I can't stand and would never say. :(

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

The 'c' word and the 't' word are horrible and as with Lilly and Garinda I am far from being a prude. Just find these words totally unacceptable!!!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

What is the difference between stating; “the ‘c’ word” and “the ‘t’ word” and me quoting what someone had posted as comment accompanying a Karma award?

There’s a distinct smell of outraged hypocrisy here.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Unlike Pudenda which just feels nice as it rolls off the tongue.

http://planetsmilies.net/angel-smiley-5112.gif

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Actually I thought it was against forum rules to quote private messages on site. And whilst this was a karma message I would see that as being private. I would just have reported it to the mods but most certainly wouldn't want everybody to know that is how people thought of me!!!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

i agree with this, at the end of the day wheather it be an asterix or a letter, we all know what it means....

double standards, but then again part of the click posted it....:eek:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Using words that mean the same as those other words that many people will not understand without looking them up first is just as bad. I have reported the post.

Unlike some nasty pieces of work masquerading as human beings I am not asking for you to banned from the forum. That is a decision for the mods.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.

“15: If you are sent a PM by a Moderator please consider it a private matter Do Not post anything about it or the moderators in the forum.”

There is nothing about PM’s from members.

When you receive a letter, email or PM the content is yours to do with as you see fit, except claiming the text as your own work. So I had every right to publish the Karma comment. I published it to establish the nastiness of some people. I don’t care what people think of me.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Oh you poor ignorant child, it is a perfectly legitimate medical term and not a swear word, unlike what you so called 'quoted, just because you found nothing in the rules to contradict this fact don't take it out on me!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I'll take that as an apology then shall I?

Otherwise you would have set your mind to a three or more pager proving that I was wrong.

http://planetsmilies.net/happy-smiley-821.gif

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Ok so there is nothing in the rules stopping you from posting it and I was wrong. I still wouldn't have put a comment like that on the site, you of course used your perogative.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Well I must admit it doesn't take much but I am totally confused.When referring to the Pudenda are we referring to the Pudendal Nerve - Artery or canal and what has it got to do with the use of bad language.See a doctor.:signthis:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Oh flippin' 'eck. Pudenda, noun, plural: the genital organs, especially of a female.

Am I the only one to see Less's post as, well shall I say, a bit risqué in its essence? Either Less is very naughty - or I am. :D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

No your not, the butt was pleased to tell me he reported it, I have however, (hopefully), put him right on that score and under no circumstances should pudenda, (a really beautiful term for the female genital area), be associated with the coarse word that he seems to have a fascination with!

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Can i just humbaly draw your attention to rule 12


12: All posts on the forum to be made in English. If you wish to communicate in a foreign language, please do so on the PM system,also PM=PRIVATE MESSAGE and all pm's are just that Private and must not be posted on the forum no matter how old they are
or who they are from.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Well there you go, I had a feeling SOMEBODY would know the rules, nice one mick! And I agree with all who say that persistant swearing should lead to a ban, even in the guise of asterisks, or when quoting others, it is still posting swear words.

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

I stand corrected.

The rules also state unnecessary swearing.

Does that mean we can swear to our heart’s content if we deem it necessary?

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Excuse me? What thread are you on? Have you meandered so far down your own version of reality that you've forgotten why this thread was started?

It's called,

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

silly mick,those are Accyweb Rules not gods.:rolleyes:

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Don't be too hasty, the message you quoted was not a PM but a karma award note so unless there is a rule change you did not infringe any accyweb rules.:cool:;):D

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

dont encourage him please........

Re: Aster1x swear**g.
 

Just covering my own back for future rule breaking when mancie has another late night:):eek:
