    Words that are against the terms of Service?

    Is there a list somewhere that explains what words, and in what context are not acceptable to use on www.sawmillcreek.org?

    Karl,

    There is no list of words of which I am aware but quoting the Terms Of Service:

    3. Profanity
    Messages that contain explicit, vulgar, or obscene language will be removed or edited at the discretion of the Forum Moderators.


    I will also tell you that after a lot of discussion by the Moderators and Administrators, "implied" profanities and obscenities are not allowed either. That means for example "Sxxxxxxxxxxxxx" type implications are not allowed either.

    Darius,

    I'm pretty sure that posting examples of vulgar language would be a violation of our Terms of service

    An analogy would be language that you wouldn’t want your five year old daughter exposed to. Saw Mill Creek is not a bar room, it is a family forum with members ranging from very young to very old.
    Members are expected to express themselves without the use of profanity.
    Please help support the Creek.

    But what if I drop a virtual anvil on my foot? I'm certainly not going to scream "Spring is here!"

    His dictionary doesn't have them so he doesn't know if they are bad or not.
