What's the policy on swearing ?
Comments
The Seymour Duncan User Group forum had a simplistic robot that would seek and replace naughty words with strings of asterisks. It nuked all examples of these words, regardless of context. e.g. The well-known Miles Davis album, ******* Brew.matt_sefton said:For some reason, whenever I swear on here, I always use a f*cking asterisk.
Of course, this system was easily circumvented by the use of an exclamation mark instead of the lower case I, the ampersand instead of A or made-up phonetic spellings such as be-atch.
Elsewhere on the same site, forumites were free to discuss their firearms collections and which political figures they wouldn't mind shooting dead.
On a work Teams call recently, the auto transcription changed the perfectly polite technical term "nonce" (in the cryptographic sense) to "n***e". Twice !
Fucking fuckface flangemangler.Snags said:I suspect the policy on swearing is as lenient on the policy as pointless attention-seeking troll posts from vexatious posters.
If like most Britons you can see all that and go on with life all la-de-da... but you are offended by someone typing a naughty word... then your priorities are off, IMHO of course.
