You would do well to stop complaining and follow forum rules as already in your first post here you haveone word that is questionable. As an aside, to resort to bad language undermines any point you may be trying to make.
Give me a break. The central subject matter of this forum is Big Brother - a trash TV show full of sexual discussion, agression and crude language. If the central subject matter of the forum is not a family friendly why does the site have to be?

What do twelve and thirteen year old members bring to this forum? For the most part, with the odd exception here and there, they are far too overzelous and immature to be using forums. Especially this forum which is evidently not a family friendly forum.

So then why bend over backwards to censor long term, older members in order to accomodate a very small group of people who come on once in a blue moon to make posts like 'i lik big bruv do u tink it shud stay?'.

The moderating on this site is a lot less harsh than it used to be but I really don't see the need to censor swear words. If you censor the swear word, everyone reading it will know what your intention was anyway thus validating it as even more of a pointless exercise!

The real problem with this site is blatant trolls and people who are clearly unfit to be browsing public forums, who are never going to contribute anything but trouble, not being banned yet.
