i was wondering if the mods could strict things up a bit about using language... ive seen a lot of new comers using a lot of foul language lately, and they did not even censore the words...
i mean come on, this is supposed to be a civilised forum, isn't it? if u feel that u really need to use a bad word, please censore them (at least they don't look too obvious)...
i understand that there is a lot of threads (and it seems impossible to monitor each of them), but i believe that using php u guys (the administrators) can ban the words (javascript might help too)...
other than that, the mods are fine...
yes, there is an option for word censuring but we opted not to use it for few different reasons:
1st, you can always dodge the code. spelling it like shít, sh!t, fúck, fu(k etc. is just as bad as spelling it the normal way so we thought it would be pointless to bother.
2nd, we're all humans. we thought it would be better to allow a moderate and occasional "bad word" here and there than censuring it and playing mothers to all of you. imagine what would it look like if we had to "remind" every member not to use this or that word every time he or she used it.
3rd, freedom of expression. it's sometimes easier to express yourself if you use "occasional" and "moderate" "bad word" here and there
however, excessive and pointless swearing is not allowed and we do warn the "offenders" when we notice the post. if you feel something was not dealt as it should have been by the forum moderator, you are free to PM me or other admins and point out the problem.
nevertheless, rest assured that your complaint/suggestion will be taken into account and will be considered
Could add the fact that the personnal jibes/attacks/insults directed at other members are getting quite annoying...
personal attacks are not allowed by the forum rules and the offenders are always warned. if they do not change the way they talk to other people, they are banned (like shah jehan for example). members are encouraged to notify the forum moderator or the site administrators when they feel insulted by other member in the forum, especially as we can sometimes fail to notice a certain post.
Don't know why but the atmosphere over here seems (to me at least) to be getting unfriendlier. I think it's
the bigger the forum gets, the more troublemakers we get. but we try our best to keep them out and make forum the better place for "normal" members, like yourself and mtfco
May I ask what happened to Jamie?? Haven't seen him here in quite a while...
actually, that puzzles us as well
i heard he'll go to a summer trip but he should have been back by now. we'll keep you updated
