What kind of bull is this? I've seen mods editing posts with swearing in it.
So I got some things to point out... and one question to ask.
-this is the internet! kids under 13 are recommended parental guidance anyways!
-... lol this is my favorite one - this forum is for a MATURE rated game
I could also go on a rant how swearing isn't bad - unless it's at someone "f**k you"
So my question. Why no swearing?
Stupid.
I'm probably just going to get a stupid answer too.
EDIT: I realized I put aloud instead of allowed. Lol... stupid... times 3.

Maybe we aren't allowed to swear because a particular mod doesn't like it, some parents disapprove of it and their children are on this site (you mention the age 13, but what about 14-18?) And while the game is rated mature, I see no warnings on the site anywhere.
As well, some swearing can offend people. "God dammit", "JESUS CHRIST!". Though they don't offend me, they may offend other people. It's really just being considerate.
No, they don't because swearing makes people's adrenaline go. Which can lead to flames. Everytime someone says "fuck" (as long as it's in context), your blood starts to get going because you know it is a swear word. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure swearing will lead to flames.
I do not delete swearing in every post. There are many places where I didn't touch it. Swearing itself I never minded it. But, what I was deleting or editing is swearing directed as an insult, which usually leads to flame wars, and flame wars are something I as a mod need to get rid of. Simple as that.
You don't see me deleting all the swear words you guys used in this thread? Or when people use it as an exclamation raise. Really, I'm not deleting swearing. I am deleting flame.
Also, I have been deleting unargumented comments as well. Unargumented comments is when people say "this sucks" without any argument - empty opinion. Those kinds of things get deleted too because they are flood and they also piss people off (so can go as flame, as well).

LOL - thanks for the laugh.
@Equinox - meh, I was speaking of a specific mod, but as I'm not aloud to do that public, so I had to use in general... and, the mod whom I was talking about, doesn't delete just flaming but everything. Flaming I can understand a bit more...

I remember I made a thread called "Education is Bull****" and it was changed to "Education is Whacked". lol.
I wouldn't touch that title.

I dunno what mod it is, most other mods are pretty passive or maybe they just delete everything physically so I don't see the results of their hard work. Of course, mods delete more than flame. They delete flood, too. Flood is a funny concept, you may go ahead and flood without even realizing you are flooding, which is why the deletion of it may make you confused. Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with a flood post. Except for the fact that it is absolutely useless.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. Mods end up being too stubborn even if I did change their minds. Just delete the thread.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
But I bet I know who did.

I guess it's obvious who does it now though...
Maybe sometime soon...

Not many, that's for sure.
