In my experience profanity is rather loosely regulated. I get in trouble if, for instance, I were to right now call you an a$$hole or some other personal insult.

The f bomb is automatically filtered, it shows like this 💩💩💩💩.

The S word is rather loose; I've seen Sanuku, Eli and a few mods use it.

Any sexual profanity is pretty taboo.

"Damn" and "hell" both really aren't profanity.

Mods and members accuse each other of "bitching" every once in a while, you probably won't get in trouble for that as long as you aren't purposely trying to be venomous.

That's what I've gathered in my time here. I'm sure each mod has a slighly different set of standards. Case in point: I've seen square use the f bomb with the asterisk, psj seems to have more rigid bent.

But really, TA is a very clean and family-friendly place. Why encourage profanity?

Yeah, lol, just thinking back, I am sure I'd have been banned if I call iDevices "shitware" (or at the very least given a tough reprimand). Thoroughly unbecoming of the site admin to call Android just that.

If you keep harping on that you might get in trouble anyways. Syntheticvoid put it very well in the GotY thread IMO.

Ok well that's the last I mention it then.

Thanks Red1 for the pm. I think that would be helpful about letting new mods at least know why someone's post is edited thru either a pm or an added line to the post. That's what the mods do on other forums that I frequent to

That's just retarded.

Yeah, it was a bit of a one-off. I can't even remember exactly what I'd said, I commented on a positive aspect of a game being marred by a negative, then with the negative part removed it gave my post the impression I was happy with the game when really I wasn't. I don't mind getting modded if it's deemed inappropriate, but I would rather have had the entire post removed and been notified, then I could have a go at rewording it in a more forum-friendly manner
