Why this policies on flaming and swearing?

**Soulforged** · 09-13-2005, 05:09

I'm not sure if i should discuss this, but seeing the policies of others forums, i'm wondering if the mods are not conservative... Why can't we say **************************************************************************************************** *************************************************** just to the air? I'm sure that it will take no offense. While i not agree with no flaming and swearing towards other patrons, i'm not discussing this here, just the inpersonal insult. Though this may seem like a discussion to the watchtower, i'll also like to know your opinions on this subject in general in all society, that's why i posted it here.

Because swearing and ‘flaming’ is petty and juvenile.

What does the below mean?

Ey Irân ey marze por gohar
Ey khâkat sar chešmehye honar
Dur az to andišehye badân
Pâyandehe mâni to jâvedân.

الله أكبر

One can be mature when swearing- but in an unrestricted environment such as the internet, maturity is very lacking. Flaming, I agree fully with the policy- it is always juvenile.

Swearing; is a weak mind's attempt to express itself forcibly...

The reason we don't allow swearing here is because this isn't n00b central. If you want to express your opinions with swear words, then go play Runescape.

Why no swearing or flaming? Because I (or anyone else here, for that matter) don't want to have to scroll through endless pages of insults and offensive language.

I have never really understood why treating us like children not adults serves any purpose, other than to patronise us, personally. It is no secret that we all swear from time to time, as long as it is not constant and grossly out of proportion I see no problem. The fact a few teenagers who live in a whole and have no clue about offensive material, search this site, doesn't mean swearing should not be allowed.

It also does add a lot to conversations at the .org and any place.

Because it is petty, juvenile and not conducive to good discussions. You will notice that on other boards, discussion between radical opposites is nearly impossible. Wading through threads full of abusive language is no fun either. You think it is? Go elsewhere.
