So in short we will not be given the due feedback on our rightful criticisms of dumb rules? We just have to accept them and that is that? How progressive. We already know the swear filter thing is dumb but this Leona stuff is just some silly fun that really doesn't get thrown about too much. We are all guilty of making in jokes.

I'll make sure and curse twice as much without breaking the filter. Because as long as I don't break it it doesn't ****ing matter right?

Just doing my bit to make the forum look more ****ing respectful.

Additional snowflakes etc.

Did you misread the last part as you cant comment on the rules by any chance?

What I meant was whoever tries to be funny, for example by replying to this with only 'leona2' or whatever...because it happens in every thread

No, I didn't. You will notice of course that I didn't complain about that at all. Anywhere in my post.

What I was complaining about was the fact that our comments go completely unaddressed. The language of sentences like 'Whether you agree with the filter or not is irrelevant. It IS there, and it IS a rule.' make it very clear that it doesn't matter how ineffective, illogical and unsupported it is. It's there and we have to put up with it 'because it is there'.

It's just pissy, basterdized reasoning. I understand that you are just doing your job though and communicating what the administrative arm wants said. I think James is the only one that genuinly cares about the swear filter or sees it as integral in making the forum look respectable - even though I might be told it was a joint moderating decision.

Let's just say I disagree with him on his order of priorities on making the forum look respectable. Besides I have to maintain my pin up bad boy image.

K, I totally missed what you meant then

James has said again and again that the swear filter will be staying. Everytime its brought up he says that, so its not going to be changing anytime soon. Thats all I meant by the part you mentioned

Just to check with the swear filter can we write s--t and f--k so people can tell the difference between **** and ****.

Strangely, that seems pretty much accepted, so I think so. As long as most is censored

As Ive said for ages, personally I dont agree with the filter at all, what with it being a BB forum and swearing is on BB a lot...but yeah, it is in the rules :/

Ok awesome, I guess we have to -- at least two letters then rather than write s-it? Sorry for the questions

- Also still doesn't quite understand what a 'leona2' is -
