Is there any thread or sub folder here that we can openly use curse words without being infracted??? Just wondering.
Our policy is quite clear: Cursing is tolerated. Excessive use of vulgar language will initially be edited. Posts that continue this trend will be deleted. This was written before the current infraction system was put in place, so now excessive use of vulgar language will also attract an infraction. Too many infractions will result in a temporary ban. Too many temporary bans will result in a permanent ban. Simple. If vulgar language is used for trolling purposes (as it has been recently to bait the moderators), then it may attract an infraction for trolling rather than merely for inappropriate language. If it is used to insult, it may attract a penalty for insulting another member. It's all common sense. The occasional use of the word "fuck" won't attract attention - unless you decide to use it to insult, to troll the forum or otherwise to be deliberately provocative or offensive. The "c" word, being the most offensive word in the English language at the current time, will be more likely to attract the attention of the moderators. Words like "shit" are so common that they will probably fly below the radar most of the time. Bottom line: please apply some common sense.
Interesting though. That linguistic hierarchy of offence. Why is that, I wonder. Common sense renders no satisfactory answer. Fraggle? Don't make me befoul Linguistics.
swearing or cursing is called french in australia kinda weird cause we can disguise our culture or accent and blame the french for our cursed language .............well i think thats why we say its french not to sure now .....hmmmm
