Dismayed by people getting all serious and their head's disappearing up there own rectums because someone might have overlooked the rule about not substituting profanity with xxx's, granted not for the 1st time lol. But it is a vent thread after all. Also don't appreciate being messaged as if i was a school child for my oversight. People have to remember they are moderators of a forum not head teachers or MI6. Maybe if its a vent thread it wouldn't be crime of the millenium to rate it as 15?
uh-huh.
Well, ...when u have to tell the same people over and over to stop, I'm not sure what else you'd expect.
No Mod WANTS to shoot off PMs reminding members to watch their language. We promote over and over and over that this a family friendly site. The mod team has a lot of things to do, and our least favorite is enforcing the rules and sending messages reminding members that there is a set of guidelines which will be adhered too.
Cursing, symbolizing cursing, and circumventing the swear filter is prohibited. It is not debatable.
We dont want lil' 9 year old johnny telling his parents he learned such and such from FX. It's not the rep we want this site to have.
ALL THREADS share this rule, even this one.
It's not like u have thousands of posts to your name and something accidentally slips out on occasion. You have 28 dude. I'd think following the simple rule of not cursing is not that hard of an accomplishment.
Forum rule: Don't curse
member: OK, no biggie
end of story.
granted not for the 1st time lol.
nothing "lol-ish" about that. You dont want a PM from a mod reminding u of the rules, then stop breaking the same rule.
Maybe if its a vent thread it wouldn't be crime of the millenium to rate it as 15?
no, all threads on FX will adhere to the profanity rule.
Do we always catch them, ....no. But when we do, we edit and send a PM reminding the parties involved to adhere to the rules.
The PM you were sent simply stated it appears we have had this conversation with you before and u should revisit the rules, get over it.
The only people I have to tell things over and over to are kids, ....so if u dont wanna be treated like a kid, then simply follow the simple rules that are in place.
Since it seems that this particular thread just makes people WANT to circumvent the swear filter, then the next time it happens, perhaps we should lock it down for a few days and give it a cooling off period.
I also see you have not yet signed the rules and regulations, .....as requested in the apparently offending PM, it is time you read them and post your acknowledgment.
Here's the link:
http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=10747.0Things like little recommendations and warnings from Mods are preferred to be handle "behind the scenes". No one wants to "air their issues" openly. Posting your "stress" about our correspondence was somewhat uncalled for.
It boils down to this:
Don't get mad/stressed if you receive a PM in regards to a rule we enforce. If you dont want the PM, watch what you post.
