Re: To Users of the Forum...
Would it be acceptable to call him a bastard a fucker and a hairy fanny.
Re: To Users of the Forum...
Can't say I really agree with this like (its a bit daft, imo, to say that the "c" word can't be used because the place is meant for all gooners but then be happy to allow any other words, some of which will be equally offensive to other people). That being said if its the rule on here then fair enough, as long as I can just continue to write *word censored* and see it get censored automatically it'll be fine, everyone knows what you're saying when that censored thing comes up anyway so its no big deal.

This is why I just use Clod instead.

Re: To Users of the Forum...
The point is not whether you or I think a particular word is okay to be used on here or not, it's that with it having been decided by the owner that this particular word would be censored and an emoticon put in it's place, people are deliberately trying different ways to get it in and thus ignoring the rules of the forum.DB10GOONER wrote:As a mod on here I have to state that I absolutely don't agree with this.

Most people seem to be using it in an abusive manner towards Wenger and although I'm no defender of his, I think it goes way over the top sometime. I mean, it's not as if we wouldn't all know what the poster was trying to say if the emoticon was there in place of the actual word. No,some people are doing it out of what I can only think is disrespect (for the manager AND the forum), spite or even just 'a laugh'.
Now if we want this forum to be a 'free for all' then fine. But be prepared to perhaps not find it here next time you fancy debating or having a rant about Arsenal.
