Think of it like in game. Just because you can now spit out insults without the game censoring you does not mean you should nor does it mean you wont get in trouble. The removal of the censor doesn't change the rules, and if you run around spewing hate speech\offensive language\posting phish sites still isn't permitted.

What if the swearing isn't an insult and is just used generally? Like, "Oh sh*t I died at Jad!" Lol.

I'm just glad the forums are becoming more modern. :)


I would very much expect these things to be actioned case by case - though generally speaking I'd personally lean towards people writing as if the censor had still been in place; simply to make it work for everyone of all ages. I am confident we'll action threads and/or posts using it excessively, just like we have in the past. At your specific example. I suppose on a lounge thread where the context is clear, it wouldn't be a huge problem, but I see absolutely no reason to advocate it nor promote it in any way.

Thanks Mexk. :)

Personally speaking, I think it would be best if it were ruled under a more pragmatic approach:

Is the person using said swearing excessively (Of course, one would have to define excessively)? If yes, it technically falls under spam and can be actioned.

Is the person directing said swearing at someone (For example: Calling someone a douche)? If yes, that falls under attacking another forumer.

Overall, the field of play hasn't changed- just *how* and *what* gets ruled.
