    So I haven't been active on the forums for months and out of the blue I received a private message from 'MMMSMITH'.

    x_X..it wasn't a very pleasant thing to read the 1st thing in the morning, Went to check up this user's post history and it seems like he has 0 posts and created his account yesterday. Just wondering if it is a bot that is spamming registered toucharcade users through private messages.

    It sounds like the user created a throwaway account to send that message too.

    Probably the most ignored rule on the site, honestly. I see so many fully uncensored swear words thrown around, and I know the mods see them because they even quote the posts and reply!

    Then I get modded for typing *****. My challenge to whoever mods me would be "tell me what the word was, then I'll accept your decision".

    I didn't get one of these messages but I'm very sorry to those who did. I hope we can figure out who's duplicate account this is and ban them.

    The third-worlder comments are a bit thick, like people have a choice.

    Especially when using it in such a frivolous manner.
     
  12. I thought there was a cuss filter here, why doesn't this pick it up?

    Wait, have you really been modded for that? Or are you just saying hypothetically?

    It's insanely silly that the rules say not to swear, and even that you're not allowed to censor your swear words with asterisks... yet people get away with full uncensors all the time. So weird. So silly. :(

    LOL. Nope... not that I know of?

    My post was edited and I was sent a PM saying I should know better. Which really isn't true, since completely starring out words is generally acceptable everywhere, from child-friendly forums to real life situations like billboards.

    You know they could still get you for what you just wrote, Sambo. Maybe next time they'll just slap you in the face with the rulebook.
     
  17. Most forum sites that I am on have a cuss filter, I thought this one did too, but maybe I was mistaken. Seems to always be a huge issue here, I don't see why something like this wouldn't fix this issue.

    Filter for a few of the more sexually oriented profanities, yes.
     
  19. Well, why can't they do it to sambos favorite word then?

    Ugh... Touch Arcade's inconsistency is confusing and almost exhausting sometimes. :(

    So one person has been time-out'd, one person was told to censor themselves and that they "should know better."... yet I see so many posts all the time where it seems no one cares!

    What gives, TA? Sure you weren't called TSA originally? :p

    [the rest of this message has been censored as a part of a routine investigation into offending donkeys, kongs, and is led by the man, Donkey Kong. The Patriots... la li lu le lo.... AH!!!!!!!!!!!... but for real. censored by the CSI - Countrywide Supercool Investigators]
