    Default Abbreviations Rules

    Okay im a bit confused by this, why are we not aloud to say "cbf" ? we are aloud to say "omfg" which can be used in a bad way yet "cbf" which cant be, and is just a way of describing yourself as lazy is. Shorly thats not right?

    I dont understand why u cant say something that cannot be used in a insulting or bad way, yet you can use another one which can?

    Opinions?

    When we have allowed things like omfg, lmfao and fml it is because most people look at these things and don't really think of the swear words so much. When someone uses cbf it makes me think of the swear word, and that's naughty . That would be my reasoning anyway. Besides, we'll unfilter a select few things but we're not gonna start unfiltering loads, because slowly but surely we'll end up with hardly anything in the filter at all!

    Thats just utterly silly, cbf is a harmless word and if u are allowing omfg why cant you allow cbf? I knw forums which allow cbf and block omfg becuase its worse, and then forums have over 300k members, its stupid. I get a warning for something, wen i was having a polite, quiet chat in a thread and did nothing wrong, and you wonder why i act up?

    That is because the majority of the forum is mature enough to use the words -.-' We are treated like two year olds.

    And you said that if you look at "fml" you don't think of the word ****? its the first friggen word! F*** MY LIFE (sorry if that is avoiding the filter, its just pointing out the meaning)!

    I know the meaning of the abbreviation, I'm just saying that's my reasoning behind it. You're more than welcome to disagree .

    Also, people tend to say "CBF" in real life, nobody says "OMFG", its probably in the dictionary as well
