I only use asterix when referring to dog excrement - so not swearing AT anybody - hope that doesn't offend

Bonnyboy · 05-06-2008, 21:08

I dont need to use an asterix

shillelagh · 05-06-2008, 21:17

Im guilty of the text speak - but always try to correct it before i post sometimes it does slip through i apologise for past and future mistakes!!!! But i do my best not to swear because i know kids read the forum plus adults dont like to read it .... but the over 18s is exempt aint it?

Asterix is a french cartoon character who battles the Romans
asterisk is a computer symbol above the number 8 ******

I see nothing wrong with a thread politely pointing out the error of our ways.

As for the job the mods do - on a forum as busy as this one they can't possibly read all the posts so if you find something offensive please do report it. I'm sure they will be grateful to you and not think you are snitching at all. They need our help with things like this. If I see a post which I think should be reported I do.

I think the mods would apprecieate a thread like this to make evryone a little more aware.
I for one am as guilty as the next for lapsing in certain discussions, No offence intended by the way , But I do think by kitty bringing this up it helps the mods do a job that is already difficult on such a busy forum.

I posted this in Accrington forum news a year ago i think

It has been brought to the moderators attention that there is a lot more bad language on site than there used to be, also members are trying to get round the filters using ** ect.
As this is a family site and there are children on here
It has been decided to put a stop to this practice ALL posts with this type of content exept in the 18 section will be deleted without warning.
If you see any of this PLEASE report it
Thankyou for your help

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ing-28004.html

The only way to stop it is with your help,so please use the report button.
For New members the report button is the "RED TRIANGLE under the members name bottom left of every post
thankyou for your help.
if nothing is reported then we take it nothing is offending anyone so if it does offend them please report it.

well seen as no one will admit to swearing on here then i will, most of you have swore on here at some point, your not all angels and stop making out that you are all so innocent, if you've done it then at least hold your hands up and say so and stop arse licking, it really does my head in when someone posts a thread like this (and i dont mean its a bad thread D) and your all 'oh it wasnt me', 'i didnt do it'...

onlyme · 06-06-2008, 10:50

Or is Accy web just turning nasty???

Personal attacks on seemingly innocent threads, swearing, and thats just in the public forum.

We then have tales of woe from the chat room and threatening pms

Is there something in the water, or is this a permament state of affairs? Just so I know whether to pack my bags lol

Tealeaf · 06-06-2008, 10:52

I've never had a threatening PM; maybe that is because I'm too nice to get one.

Just hang on T' sorry if I've missed you out, I'll add you to the list!

Mick · 06-06-2008, 10:55

There is a little Red triangle at the bottom left on every post if your not happy with something then use it .
the mods are not psychic if its over the pm system then report it.

MargaretR · 06-06-2008, 10:57

I have been on daily for over a year now.
There have been spells when it was worse.
There are stirrers and helpers and people who amuse - a reflection of real life.
Sometimes the nasty ones overdo it but the mods here are very good at keeping order.
This forum will never be 'all sweetness and light', and it would get boring if it was.
Stick around - there are lots of decent people here.

Hiya Mick

Sorry this was not an attack on the mods at all. I have always found the mods to be helpful so as I say it wasnt aimed at you or the other mods!

Sorry!

If anybody thinks they have it tough on here, you wanna try being a Dingle like me
