when did they re-invoke the profanity filter?


I figured if I dissappeared for a bit, I could get my warning level down and a friend of mine told me, my posts had gotten chewed up. Seems the profanity police met up with the board watchdogs once again. Oh Well...

It was once in {} but due to the many variations where people used the profanity, it was fixed so **** in any form was censored.

What's your point? If you can't act like and write like an adult, maybe you should find a forum where you can swear?

I think what the OP is trying to say is that the url in his signature is getting messed up.

I am guessing you may have left you sense of humor in your other pants with your manners. Just for you I have removed the s from my sig and will go on with my childish life as planned. I can go swear at my kid's forum but his mods will cut me off also if I am rude.

Its not a bad thing, especially if people are abusive and need monitoring. Thanks Mouse - Looking good as usual, keep up the good work.

I am glad that you have taken an interest in my pants and glad to see your URL is now visible to the world.

Which rule specifically? I don't see it violating any.

Two colours (I believe black doesn't count as a colour in this sense) and two clickable links (even though he does have three links).

Oh I didn't realize the second link wasn't clickable. My mistake.
