Language on the forums

... sit down, kick back and relax, and talk about anything that doesn't belong on one of the other forums.

I really liked the idea about creating the filters to substitute wot themed profanity!

Great link of WOT curses.
WOTMOD needs more flaming, burn me, bloody, and mother's milk in a cup!

Can someone share or point me in the direction of all these vulgar posts? Otherwise I am completely lost about what everyone is up in arms about.

Funny you should ask after what appears to have been a forum wide cleanup job done recently.

Here are a few examples however :
... Sidar plays a pansy ass rogue so of course he hates an...

... so the bash is pretty firetrucking unavoidable at all...

... Such a garbage firetrucking weave.
This is a good example of acceptable to me, although likely recently edited :
"We should all quit this dung game."
Kudos to the recent clean up. Like taking graffiti off your shops front window, people will be more inclined to look in and see what you have for sale.

Here's another one:

"4 heron longs of excellent or pristine quality
2 heron meds (one of good quality, other of excellent or better)

I want some prime quality bismuth. If you make a real offer I'll consider it and reply to you. Otherwise they're sitting in my rent until I die and use them, which lets be honest, will be never because I'm really good at this game.

Pls post your offers here, I don't feel like having my mails spammed!"

This is vulgar and abusive language to you? I guess this will leave me still confused. I can see theids point in the one statement calling the character of sidar a puss cat. But the trade one is a far reach.

The new filter is amazing. Haha!

Oh, and Jaster. It's fine that you stick up for a pal. Good on you.

This divisiveness pleases the dark lord greatly. Anyone think Epstein isn't actually dead, but was secretly taken out of prison by his powerful friends?

Our forum filters have been updated in line with the general feeling that we've been letting too much slide.

WoT themed replacement is a lovely idea, but the forums cannot tell whether words are being used adjectively or as a noun or exclamation so it won't actually work well. I've stuck with my usual policy of insane whimsy, because it pleases the blackened cockles of my heart.

Do please continue to make use of the report function, since that's what it's there for - we do get notifications for that, which is helpful since not all of us read all forums all of the time.

I'm locking this now, as I believe it's usefulness has been exhausted.
