Sorry I wasn't trying to be ridiculous to you I apologize. But they are very good.

But still get a Bluetooth headset / ear buds for your laptop.

I've no need for it, I'll have access to my desktop in an hour or so, I just wanted to see what peoples opinions were.

Nice to meet new guys and again see the old folks working on the il2 years ago. Keep the faith in your job and don`t ever let the naysayers get you down. You`re creating something BIG I mean BIG!

Mods have received too many complaints from angry parents about profanity on 1C games forums.

Guys you may think you are in a adult world, but when something is called a game.... well, it does have appeal to the kiddies too.

Therefore, stomping on a few toes for profanity on these forums... hopefully everyone will get the message.

Yes indeed I have to watch it myself. I wish there was an adult section.

Something for people over 21.

Then another section for people WAY over 21 with hearing aid ads all over it.

Hot diggedy dog.

Four cakes and a bun, deary deary me and well, really.

Such a shame.

Tarnation.

There Shouldn't be any complaints about enforcing this rule. Everyone agreed to follow the forum rule including -
[QUOTE]5. Obscene language, offensive or threatening content, drugs propaganda, political or religious agitation and propaganda, appeals to overthrows of power, incitement of ethnic hatred, disparagement on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, faith and other socially unacceptable expressions are prohibited in this forum. [\QUOTE]


I spend most of my professional life dealing with teenagers, some with fairly harsh backgrounds. After spending most days dealing with foul language, the last thing I want to have in my recreational time is swearing and rude behaviour. It's too much like work!

Thanks!

Hate to leap in here, but a little clarification would be handy so we don't get ourselves in trouble. What exactly counts as a swearword? I assume the worst words are filtered by the forum, whereas some users 'asterisk' their own swears on occasion. So for example, assuming 'hello' in this case is a swear:

'hello' - ban (obviously)
'h*llo' - ban?
'*****' - ban?

Is it ok to include a swear if it is self-censored, and to what degree?

I ask not because I plan on insulting people, but because some methods of self-censoring are still considered 'swears' by some and not others, and I'd rather know than be caught out by accident. Sticky is locked or I'd have asked there.

Easy, don't swear!

There's no need to swear.

The 'clean' English language covers all our needs.
