    I think that this system sounds pretty good to me. Most of the regulars know better than to flame or fuel the fire, and for the most part, we're quite civilized.


    Might I ask, however, what's up with the censors? The "F" word wasn't censored before, but it is now... What's up with that? I believe that most of us are quite mature and have heard or read this language before, so I don't see why we should need a censor.

    Just my 15.39$.

    The F word is prolly censored to make our forum seem more civil and/or inviting to our guests and new members, or something on those terms.

    I like the idea, every forum need its own rules and its own enforcement.

    I would just like to point out to you that not all of our members are nessesarily as mature as you claim to be. We have a decent number of 13 year old members who are still at an impressionable age. Not to mention but they still are in grade school. We must respect that and provide content that is apropriate for all ages.

    You can blame the several people who were using it far too frequently in friendly posts, and not so friendly posts. It was my call to censor the word.

    Good call.

    Yeah. I think it needed to be censored because some people here overabuse the word (I have used it a couple of times, nothing harsh). I don't mind it, it's just there to block "mean" posts.

    ...and say a parent walks in on one of their younger teen kids and sees some words or something that they would find offensive, we'd probably end up having one less member on our forums to debate with, etc.

    It's the only censored word. I'm sure you can think of other words to use.
