When each and every member signed up here they agreed to this . . .
"You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use the TCC Collector Zone to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law."
It is the fifth paragraph in the guidelines in the blue banner space at the top of this page.
Bob has made it abundantly clear that profanity and implied profanity are not allowed here. That includes "cute" internet acronyms. There is a zero tolerance level for this. This is a family-friendly forum and we will preserve that aspect.
I'd much rather be searching the boards for set fillers than typing this. Think before you post - if you wouldn't want your child to hear it coming from your mouth, then don't post it on these boards.

QUOTE(mysticalwolf70 @ Dec 10 2009, 12:09 PM) Well as a member all I can say at this time is (LMDO) laugh my DONKEY off , what we all dont realize is our children around the world use this so called profanity everyday, hundreds of times throughout that day. So this is for Northern.... I will use the LMDO from now on my posts or threads, thanks and keep up the great job. So if those same children were jumping off of bridges, you would be first in line to follow? Just because it is used in other public places does not make it proper to use. Please learn better judgement than to follow others.

I believe the particular term and post that you are referring to was deemed crude.
I have already spent more time than I ever intended to concerning this subject.
There is a filter in the programming of the site that automatically censors a predetermined list of words. This system is not enough to protect the boards from inappropriate words, acronyms and phrases.
That is where common sense comes in.
Just because a word, phrase, acronym or adjective is in the popular language of our time does not deem it appropriate for these boards. The fact is, our conversational language has become so crude and vulgar, that our forbears would not recognize it as their own.
If it is crude, vulgar, profane or just bad taste . . .
Don't post it.

If you get a pming asking you to not use a word. Then dont use the word again.. Say your sorry and try harder next time.. If its a word that is not on the list I dont think the CZT will throw the book at you the first time??
Also there would be no way to make a list.. Words come and go so fast these days one week it can be bad and the next not.. Just use your best judgement and be nice when asked not to post something or when asked not to use a word..
Its a friendly reminder. Not a Death Sentence.. some of use have been around so long on the site or dont come here very often and need reminders some times..
