i am offended but strong language (here or anywhere else) since my baptism in october. and would have reported it myself because this is a family friendly board and just because most young (11-13) teens cuss doesn't mean i support them reading it in a fully accessable forum.
For the love of... Okay, fine. Still funny to see how sensitive some people can get over something as irrelevant as a curse-word that's pretty much accepted in informal speech about anywhere else in the world anyway. I can see how some people consider it to be offensive, however; and besides, it's Ziroc's forum, Ziroc's rules. That much is clear, and I have no problems with abiding by it. But to ban someone for it? I personally think it's a bit too harsh. And I mean no disrespect to the moderators here (never did, never will), but what's wrong with a simple mod overrule edit and an official warning, especially regarding the context in which the "insult" was made?

And anyways, if the f-word is really that big a deal, just install a curseword-filter or something of the kind - replacing it by something silly, like "skippy ball" or "pineapple". Then all those tender, fragile 11-13 year old souls can at least enjoy IW without being surrounded by hypocrite expressions of shock whenever someone relapses into using one of the Forbidden Words.
