I moderate a forum where four letter words are the norm, instead of the exception. I truly appreciate a place where good language without swearing is the rule. Those words are just throw-away language, and aren't really necessary.
Here is one high school English teacher that appreciates the no swearing rule.
Besides, the last time I explained this to a person on my forum that argued about first amendment issues and his behavior, I said this:
"This is not a free speech forum where language and behavior cannot be censored. This is a service where you as a member, hosted and paid for on servers that don't belong to you, can meet others, share ideas, and form a community around our common interests. So by getting an infraction, instead of complaining about Nazi Moderators, you might want to stop and think why your behavior was out of line and not in the best interests of our online community." |
