Hi there Noobstown

     I had a slight concern about the clarity in section e in the updated rules.  This pertains to swearing.  I have taken a direct quote for the new rules post. It is:

         

Profanity is strictly banned, we have a language filter to block out any swearing; however trying to     bypass this filter, by either substituting letters/words or using abbreviations (and so forth) is also against the rules.

     I have highlighted the word "words" because this is the source of my topic.  I completely understand swearing to be unacceptable.  I also understand abbreviations and such are unacceptable (replacing letters and other forms).  However replacing a non-swear word for a swear word is not swearing.  The act of swearing is to deliberately communicate a specific word to express one's emotion, but the main idea is a specific word.  I do not believe using the word "strawberry" in the place of a 4 letter swear word to be bad.  Infact it is a mechanism often used to cure little ones of a potty-mouth.

  Having said this, I may have taken section e in the rules out of context.  It just did not seem totally clear to me.  I also want to add that I comply with and understand the final ruling on this matter is that of the staff (not trying to step on any toes).  I also understand that some of these rules may be situational. For the most part, I am simply voicing my concern.
