Please note that the guideline regarding swearing has been updated as follows:

Swearing - Many members find swearing triggering so it is not permitted in any form. There is a filter in place to screen out most swear words, but it does not pick up words that use a combination of letters and symbols (e.g., f**k). If you do come across this please use the "Report to Moderator" button at the bottom right of the post. We will then edit it out and PM the poster. (Note: We do not ever reveal who has reported a post.)


It was the case in the past that a full symbol mash (e.g., &*^%$) was an acceptable form of swearing whereas a mix of letters and symbols was not (e.g., f**k). However, too often Moderators have to edit out the latter so making all forms of swearing off limits will hopefully make things clearer.
