Language...

Post by Sir Adam »

Greetings, all.

Recently the language on the forum has become a bit more coarse, and while I realize a great number of folks talk that way normally as a way to express themselves, let's also realize that this forum is open everyone, including kids. So, in short, please watch your language 8) . Feel free to use various odd phrases instead.
I DO have the option to add a "language filter", but I'd rather we self-police ourselves as we always have (this gives everyone a chance to be creative themselves rather than having the forum automatically change "large steaming pile of dog doo" into "big pile of dog doo-doo" or whatever my feeble mind is able to come up with).
Please note that this is NOT aimed at anyone in particular, it's just something I've been noticing more and more over the past few months and have decided to be proactive about (if it was, I would PM you personally, as I have in the past to a few folks that were kind enough to tone it down a bit at my humble request).
Keep the C!

I have enabled the language filter this evening due to some feedback from some of our members...therefore, if you notice something you've cursed about change a bit, that's just the forum software at work. I'm just trying to keep it PG rated here, that's all (again, this is not directed at any one user...there are a couple folks that were noted).
