    Default Swearing

    Now now hear me out. I know that you believe that swearing shouldn't be allowed because it makes the forum look ugly n such, well about just in videos/photos. Obviously if used offensively then appropriate action will be taken, like with anything. I just find it a bit annoying that photos/videos that are actually pretty funny (i know you can link them and warn blahblahblah, but that kind of removes the wittiness of some of them) cant be posted because of a silly rule. Atleast thats what i think.

    Discusssss?

    I think there should be relevant warning because a lot of our users are youngsters, we have users of the ages of 11, 12, 13, 14 and if these warnings are there then they know that they shouldn't click the spoiler and if they do then that's their problem - if their parents complain then we can say that the warnings were there.

    We have to cater for the younger audience we have and this is something that will not be getting changed any time soon.

    Do you really think it's going to be changed on a forum that has pictures of flowers on the skin and treats the users like they've never heard a swear word before..
    nawwwwww

    Seriously, if 'youngsters' havent heard a swear word before then they must live in a cave. I think i was taught about sex in year 5, thats like 9 years old. I remember knowing swear words then and i wasnt the only one. You're being pretty unfair to the youngsters. Oh and also, this is the internet. Seriously porn and swear words are everywhere. I'm not being unreasonable here, i dont want it everywhere, but just a lil bit :p.

    i read it after i posted, but having a spoiler/warning doesn't really make any difference or removes a 'wittiness of some of them' because if it's funny, then people will laugh. if it isn't, then obviously they won't. and as oli said, there are young members on here so the rules and content must take them into consideration.

    Voted no. In videos you can spoiler/warn and that's fine, and I'm not certain on the current rule for pictures but it's just not needed really. If you allow it then people will just post a picture of swearing instead of typing it when they want to be ReBeLLIoUZZ

    Meh, the warnings seem to be fine. I hardly doubt a warning ruins the point of a video or picture It's like people who OCD over spoiler tags because something that is so blatently obvious might ruin the plot, even though the thread no doubt makes reference to it and if you do not want to know something, you should probably not look at any pages to do with it.

    But that's another story entirely

    And last time I checked, the majority of users were 15-18?
