Asterisk swearing

Stealhead · 08-24-11, 07:29 PM

On a side but related topic what about certain links. A few weeks ago there was a thread where people where showing links to vids and if they did have anything language or "some might not want to see this" subject matter they gave a warning.What is the rule on this then?Is that a no go or so long as one posts a clear warning before a link is it allowed?

I am just wondering because that can cover alot of things for example what if someone posts a topic about WWII and they link to a video that shows dead bodies or gore?

Obviously I have always assumed that linking to pornographic materiel is not allowed.

I always saw they gave a warning first.

I'm Guilty of Asterix and Substituting letters in words. Who just about isn't.

Yes and I have been too. But it is the substituting of letters with asterisks in certain words thats a problem. Doing it in such a way that leaves nothing to the imagination as to what it is and means. And I believe the forum rules address that.

I was just wonder what 'fully asterisked word' is? And why it would be considered vulgar and offensive?
