No we do not, hence the problem.

Period.

I think you missed the point.

Dimitrius07 was chastised for substituting symbols for what was assumed to be off color or profane words... a common practice, BTW, widely accepted in the internet forum/bulletin board/social networking world when not used gratuitously.

Putting aside the fact that this requires someone (a mind reader perhaps?) to make a judgment as to just what the word was, and assuming no ulterior motive, precise interpretation (the definition of pedantic) and selective application of a necessarily subjective rule is what's at issue.

The latter point was brought home (to me at least) by stoneys-nutz with his use of Cockney slang.

In case you're not aware Cockney slang is a substitution exercise where a benign word or phrase is used in place of another, often off color or profane word or phrase... just as stoneys-nutz did in his post.

Why was that infraction not called out with a warning issued? The answer would most likely end with a comment such as "...good luck with that!"

It doesn't matter that the use of symbols is "a common practice, BTW, widely accepted in the internet forum/bulletin board/social networking world when not used gratuitously."

The rules of this Forum state:

"Please use language that you would use around your mother. No vulgarities, obscenities, hate speech, or foul language. Do not use *******ing w*rds with aster*cks, that's the same thing as vulgar languge. Express yourself with respect to others."

So, when Dimitrius 07 states:

"I told you and you didn`t listen, the last thing those monkeys cares about is clients. Got anything on they newest piece of @@@@ products?"

I would say that the above rule is being broken. The Moderator made him aware of that fact. Simple.

Can we move on now?

I got a question before you move.....on. What is it for you to make such details over my message? I don`t remember myself asking our opinion about it. Mind your own business and stay away from "Oven expert", it may be to hot for YA .

To post on a discussion forum is to invite discussion of anything you post.

Yea, I'll probably get a skwinty eyed warning again.
But I'm not the one that keeps this sort of 'Battle stuff' going on.
