    If partially censored profanity isn't allowed in the backroom then it's most definitely not going to be allowed elsewhere.

    Just because the forum rules doesn't mention censored swearwords doesn't mean it is allowed. In fact, because it doesn't mention censored swearwords they count as normal ones. Also, several fora have stickies explaining that partialy censoring swearwords doesn't make a difference. We can still see which words you mean, so what's the point of allowing them?

    Aye if I use this word f***, you know what I mean. If I call you a c*** you know what I mean. This is just as offensive as anything else, personally I prefer swearing to be censored into this: %$#@

    Partially censored words are still a no-no in the Guides forums.

    Enter the Guides forum and swear at your own risk. I WILL be watching.

    I'm personally not bothered by swear words, but the simple fact is that we do have kids that visit the forum. Now while I'm sure that most (if not all) of them are well aware of "naughty" words, there's no reason why they should be exposed to them more than necessary....and it's certainly not necessary in a game forum.

    In addition, the less swearing there is, the more civil and pleasant this place remains. The Org is easily one of the nicest and most genteel forums I've ever come across; and I, for one, would prefer to keep it that way.
