I would just like to know what offends people on the forums, as the rules state not to say anything offensive...but i have seen people use offensive words, however...when i use them...i get banned or flamed...so...here's a poll.

The problem is that everyone is different Jacob...each individual may be offended by something different. So the only real solution would be to not make any remarks that might offend someone...
Thing is, is that is nearly impossible...so what I do is if I think something I am about to say might offend someone...I appologize in advance (ie. sorry if this offends anyone...but...)
But that is just me...

Spider: Yep...Miss Paranoid herself...

Shut up...

One small caveat: Don't make any remarks that might offend someone unless they deserve it...

You're a moderator, you shouldn't encourage people to break them.

Thankyou Vykker. You have proved my point. You see people, he gets offended by these words. Now, does anyone else!? Many people have seen the poll but none have voted. It helps other forumers know what to say in posts and what not to say. I have seen many use 'W*nkers' and 'B*stards' but i dont know if they have special privilages or i have a handy-cap. So this is were i ask u all 4 ur opinion and u give it 2 me...plz.

Other people don't use them to describe other forumers, Chris...

here's my point you call the moderator and tell them that somebody called you a f***er then the modertar tells the person to say sorry and then you become friends... END OF STORY:mad: :fuzmad:

acob, this is sad. You'd just call us these if you knew and we voted, sorry but this is sad. I personaly seee no more point here, Jacob seems to have developed a warped sense of importancce...

Jacob 03-30-2002 09:36 AM
No...u c, i dont mean it like that. I dint mean wot if sum 1 called u it. I ment in general, describing sum 1 outside of the forums or sumat. I wunt use these words 2 insult u lot...ugh...plz.
