    Swearing

    We know Porn is off limits, but regarding swearing some members have voiced concerns over explicits being used in thread titles & posts ( mostly the 2 bad boys f**k & c**t )

    Now us mod's don't want to start looking like the fun & censorship police & removing stuff left right & center, after all freedom of speech is one of the founding principles of this forum, but this issue has popped up a couple of times especially re- thread titles. So since the NZHS is a forum by the members for the members, I think you should be able to say what direction we take regarding swearing & Werther self censoring is the best way to go

    Remember the forum is still young & finding it's feet so it will take time to work out things such as whats seen as productive for the forum as a whole & what isn't.
    but life is all about compromise


    Personally I think we are big & ugly enough to self censor ourselves & probably the best way to go is to persuade people to not use swearing in their title & if the vid or story in the thread is full of F's & C's then warn people
    I see no problem with guys dropping in the odd F & C in a thread

    Well, I personally think the answer is simple.

    The thread titles should definitely be vetted, as this is the most public part of the forum viewed by everyone, hence the need.

    The rest of the thread can show as its posted, and the Home page of the Forum shows a 'may contain offensive language' warning/disclaimer. That way, at least you've been warned.

    Forums can be an emotional place, and to try and overcontrol language would be like grabbing a tiger by the tail, and end up causing too much pain and misery. I think controlling language in the thread titles is not unreasonable, but hey, this is only my 2cents worth.

    Cheers, Red.

    The problem is if we allowed porn, you would have to cater for all tastes. You would have to have guy porn for Timmay, animal porn for Uplander, foot porn for me. Its a big ask

    just joking boys,

    Piripi your on to it cheers

    People should be smart and mature enough to censor themselves.
