So last night I received an infraction from a mod over avoiding the swear filter when I clearly was not.

I emailed this person back but they used that 'TiBB Staff' account.

I got no email back or no explanation over this infraction, this is an infraction over something the majority of us do when swearing and it is no way using BBCode to avoid the filter.

So I'd like to report it, it may be worth one point but I still want an explanation into why I got it when:

1. It's not avoiding the filter
2. Everyone does it
3. Another Mod told me it was fine

So how do I go about reporting this TiBB Staff account thing?

This is why mods should go back to using their own profiles again, much easier.

Anyways, Help would be great.
Thanks everyone

You got an infraction for swearing? WTF is this Primary School? Grow up TiBB mod team

[Vicky.]

We cant get into the Tibb staff account, that will be why you received no reply.

You will need to contact James or mark to dispute an infraction. Whilst other mods can actually reverse them...we can't really 'go over each others heads' :S

Blame Vicky, it's easier

I said on occasion and told you to tone it down, I never said it was fine.....

Yeah and I have done, I've wanted to swear to other members like Chuckyegg and Wombai alot but haven't.

When I have swore regarding Channel 4 and Big Brother I use the stars, something a good fellow member suggested as a way to stop avoiding the swear filter.

I quote:

Hey, I thought using the stars ** In the middle of swear words is like not avoiding it? I started doing that instead of italics because of the infractions I got for avoiding the filter

You can do that but try keep it to a minimum

And the infraction I got from TiBB Staff was for doing that, something that alot of other members have been doing for months.

I just don't get why I got an infraction for that when I'm not the only one doing it, and it isn't avoiding the swear filter because there was two stars in the word.

I quite often edit the f word so instead of it coming out as '****' it comes out as '******'.

How else are people supposed to know what swear word it is otherwise?

[Jayson]

This is complete *********g b******t.

[Jords]

I dont think anybody is offended by swearing on here anyway..

[GypsyGoth]

Gosh darn it!

[Mystic Mock]

thats ridiculous.

I don't see why people need to know what swear word it is :S

I'm not one for filtering myself..I personally don't see the point. But if the filter is there, it is there for a reason.

[GiRTh]

LMAO. The new mods have gone on a power trip.

Frankly, to get an infraction for swearing ridiculous. There are people on here who swear in just about every post but they get nothing. Which mod was it? I bet I can guess.

hahahhaha!!!

It's a bit childish being so strict over the swear filter, I know that people abuse the system and write a load of... sh-rubbish. It's confusing because the 'S-Word' and the 'F-Word' both appear as ****.

I think it is childish how people persistently go out of their way to avoid it to be honest :/

Do they ALL get infractions?

[Jayson]

I want an infraction

[Jayson]

Thinking about it, I constantly break the swear filter. I should've been banned about 12 times by now. Cunts.
