Question on rules about vulgarity...

Yes, I have a question about the rules regarding vulgarity...
LMAO is okay...
This one is at least quite vague, it doesn't imply a specific word, or thought,
only that one is mad enough to be shouting things not appropriate to spell out...
L-M-F-A-O is not okay, and is filtered...
These are not only considered okay,
they are given special symbols,
probably by the creators of these forums:

but in any case, not removed or prohibited by the SGW Forums management or staff...
so that even non-English speakers can truly understand how much anger and hatred is inside one's vulgar mind just waiting to get out...
I don't imagine it would take a real mod application to delete them.
I am the assistant admin for The Magnificents alliance forums,
which is phpBB and very current, just like these Main Forums.
several versions ago, our Happy Birthday smiley stopped functioning as a smiley,
for some unknown reason.
Eventually we just deleted the smiley...
In fact, I think I did it personally...
I don't remember how... I just remember that it was done...
It has never returned, working or otherwise, with numerous updates...
Seems easy enough to request that these two smilies be deleted, once and for all.
Thanks for your consideration of this.
