I'll be the first to admit I have a potty mouth. I try to watch myself on the PF, though. Should we allow people to swear here? Only mild swear words? Ban people for swearing? See about getting a language filter? Please list any and all swear words you can think of so I can be sure they get added to the filter.

I think PG13 profanity(shit..damn..etc) is acceptable so long as it isn't directed at another member.

I have no problem with profanity in general conversation. I don't think it should be allowed to be used to call others names though.

So does "You're such a twat." count as "Yes" ?

I'm not offended at all by profanity and will admit that I swear far too much. I don't think many youngsters would view this forum regularly, but it a family forum, so inappropriate language can be an issue. I just hate censorship. Too bad, sometimes even adults can't behave. I say allow it, but agree with the others that it should not be used to insult others. | ||

I just use the  emoticon...but don't have any problem with profanity as long as it's not out of control. Just don't direct it at someone in a mean way. Maybe let it be okay in the general chat area, but not in the parenting places.Don't put on a filter! Would the filter affect pm's too? That would really stink. | ||
