No one is forcing you to stay here, Quick1. I hear there are other forums out there where cursing is not only allowed, it's encouraged.

So if we don't allow rampant cursing, we are catering to children? There are many adults who find it distasteful, you know.

That's pretty much the end of the story. This is one thing that will not be changing.

My personal opinion is that cursing for no reason, except to use those words, is crude and immature. When we are talking, occasionally a word may slip out, but when typing, there is no excuse for it. So far, I have not joined any forums that allow or encourage foul language.

If the ECF were to allow it, I would leave the forum and I believe many other members would leave also.

:toast:

I HAVE joined other forums that DO allow it, but as you see my post count, I tend to hang out HERE, where the cursing and bullying arent allowed. ;)

Exactly Jerry. I feel it takes a higher degree of intelligence to drive your point across sans gutter mouth. Heck anyone can yell and cuss and swear. Doesn't make them an adult anymore than it makes them intelligent........:laugh:

Initially it was an offhand comment on the irony. I didn't really expect much of a response if any at all. I wasn't complaining, I wasn't asking for a change. But now I'm intrigued :confused:. Has this come up before? Was there some huge problem or battle over this in the past? And I'm surprised at the assumption there would be rampant, gratuitous cursing without the filter in place. I've gathered the impression that the general membership here is of a somewhat "older" demographic and would not expect the more childish use of profanity would be a problem. Even then mostly self policing. I'm on a fairly large muscle car site/forum where there is no filter at all. Rules are basically: no discussions on illegal acitivities and anything more pornagraphic that what would be "safe for work" is restricted to a couple of sub forums. We have an older demographic there as well and you don't hear much of anything you wouldn't hear at your local McDonalds or Denny's.

Many times, actually. Not so much a huge battle, but I do know of a few members who ended up being banned because they refused to abide by our rules regarding this.

Well, I know of one other ecig forum that proves your statements there false. :)

I even got a warning for "evading forum censors", but I really didnt...it just happened to APPEAR as I did. But, I took the warning with a grain of salt, as I know I wasnt being picked on, the computer software was just doing its job....:blink: BUT...I WOULD be upset if I had been banned for it when I had no idea what I did ;)

I don't think the forum would ban anyone, without plenty of warning. I do believe that anyone who has been banned, knew that it was coming and didn't care.

Hiya Tauk.

I need to come up with a new and better way to answer the issue. I'm starting to sound like a broken record. I've actually been half tempted to come up with a list of canned responses so I can just cut and paste when things like this come up, that way I have more time to goof off. :D

How's things in your neck of the woods?

Jerry is the 'official instigator' not me. :D I thought he just wrote code or something :confused:

Kent, I based my comment on what I have seen. I am not privy to any inside information. They don't keep the "Official Instigator" in the loop.:( :D

I couldn't say boo without being attacked by a dozen people at once. It just wasn't fun anymore at all. I hope this site doesn't go down that road.

There was a time when ECF was headed down that path. If a member posted an unpopular opinion with a certain clique, they were jumped on by what I call 'The Wolf Pack'. But we eliminated that problem so you won't see that happening here ;)

You been peeking again Tauki? Luvs you too! :wub:

Well I've been called a lot worse Jerry....so I'll take that as a compliment :D

And as far as the language filters go, one time I went to type 'Tom, Blank & Harry' and the filter popped in there. It was hilarious! :laugh:

Nooooo! Only because you don't ban. Banning the undesirables is what makes it all worthwhile....bwahahhahaha :headbang:
