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...

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

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.
