I'd say rather than laying full responsibility at the parents' doors..... given that this site is open to people as young as 13 - it is the ADULTS jobs to make the kids understand and that is why admin and mods are there. It's up to them, and not up to those of a similar age group who are swearing for the hell of it, because they 'can', coz mummy and daddy aren't looking in.
Do you remember what school was like - apart from swearing: ganging up and bullying people. That goes on in schools too: it doesn't mean to see it should be allowed to happen on a forum either. Exactly the same principle as the swearing.
I doubt many people on here object to the occassional cuss word, particularly when put into context: but some posters (children and adults) use it to such extent, in every 3rd post, full of F's, and C's - and they quite deliberately use a different font to avoid the swear filter. Now if that's not childish and immature - in he mistaken belief that they think they are some sort of rebel without a cause .... I don't know what it.
Half the time the ones very guilty of it - end up ruining the very point they are trying to get over: because they cannot think of anything else more descriptive to write - and anything worthwhile said, is lost in amongst the barrage of expletives.
So there!!
