Why is it the mods can lock a topic because it's imflammatory but they can't change a topic title which contains the word "fucking" even when I submitted a report on it fucking ages ago?

Cause it probably requires more than One Click
Click 1: Lock Topic
They can change titles. They may not want to do it because it removes the reason for the locking of the thread. :)
Here is the offending topic...I see no good reason for the use of the "bad word"
Yes I totally agree with you. The rules, I understand, were relaxed recently regarding swearing, something I disagree with. Though I cant remember the board being informed, or are we supposed to hunt the board for rule changes?Quote:

I guess if the rules have been relaxed then it is up to the poster to take responsibilty for his own posts/threads. Some of us rarely use swear words or use words like feck or f*ck.
I guess swearing is maybe something you grow out of? Most of the more mature members can limit their need to swear. Personally I "save" swearwords because then they have more impact when I do need to use them. :lol:
Well, that was the first time I got the anti-spam. Annoying.
It's a judgement call.
This isn't a G-rated board, and cursing is allowed (within reason), but it isn't something that's encouraged. Fuck is one of those interesting words that has evolved to have the ability to mean a great many things. "My Router Is Fucking With My Internet Connection" isn't meant to be offensive, as its context is one of "causing trouble with."
Furthermore, Hardwareworld is Virtualbody's domain. I try to leave the moderating of the worlds to those who have been charged with their stewardship. If Virtual decides that the title should be changed, that's his decision.

Why is it I haven't hit this 'G' spot yet? :ph34r: Am I really that 'Past It'? :rolleyes: :lol:Quote:

I respect the point of view of the mod team, I just don't think that such strong, offensive words should be allowed in thread titles when the board is seen by such a wide age range.
Just my $0.02 as my American cousins would say ;)
Only if you've gone in too far :rolleyes:Quote:
