Thunder i suggest you review your moderating practises.  The bad language was NOT intentional but i thought you should all read it in its' origional unedited state.

If you're going to go around deleting everyones' messages then i might as well not bother posting anymore if noone will ever see what i post.

You know the rules.

And how could it not be intentional, you're typeing, not talking

[wEvil]

i just cut & pasted it.

and i do actually view the act of TYPING something as talking online.  Call me odd but ive spent so much time doing this stuff it becomes second nature.

There..edited.  Happy now?

I agree with wEvil. Fools who can say nothing but crude words and stupid insults are one thing, people who use fairly standard cursing another. It's not like anyone here has never heard the words or is so innocent-minded that they cannot bear to read them. Censoring language is a step toward censoring ideas, even if there are at times (not always) more articulate ways to describe things than using the tired old standards. Besides, this stuff is mild at best, acting offended at tepid insults is self-righteousness of the most pointless degree.

That sermon done, I'm off to the VBB to see if I can teach ZylonBane to be nice to people for a change

Might want to go write your will before you do, could be a while....

[Stryke 9]

You have not seen me in a real argument, have you?

[Thorn]

No, but I do know Zylon is one stubborn son of a monkey (and I mean monkey)...

[Stryke 9]

That he is. I have no intentions of converting him, however, just making him discredit himself completely and be driven from the forum in shame... I've recently had practice on a much more powerful foe than he in much more adverse conditions (and lost, but that's beside the point), so I'm still in practice at jerkbaiting. Fun fun fun!

be nice or i'll have use the hammer of HLP justice. i mean it. ZB might be mean to the newbies, but keep it on the VBB.

[Stryke 9]

I am. While such argumants might be entertaining at times, I hardly want them everywhere I go.

C'mon guys, it's very simple. Don't swear. Swearing gets edited - nothing else in the message is touched, so it's not like what your saying is being ruined. It's perfectly possible to post without swearing and I will make no exceptions when it comes to it.

Additionally, do not re-edit swearing into your messages. It's a good way of saying "take away my edit post abilities".

I make no apologies for taking a hard-line attitude to swearing, deal with it or deal with what happens when you do swear to much. It's your choice.

[NeoHunter]

I agree with THunder. This is a public forum. Try to refrain from swearing. Let's keep this a clean and friendly forum.

Ah well, we (the HLP Staff) have found an easier way than simply asking people to stop. Since everyone gets so annoyed about having swear words edited out of their messages we've simply added all the swear words we can think of to the censorship panel on the forum. Any words we missed will be added and the person who said them will be shamed with whatever my tortured mind can think up when I edit their swearing out of their post.

There, problem solved - it would've been easier to just not swear but... well I'm damned if I'm going to spend my day slapping people on the write.

Here endeth the lesson. Have a nice day.

Edit: and since I can't see anything new coming out of this thread apart from peolple being silly or complaining, Consider it locked (if you really must complain, email me about your troubles).
