Section 5: Language
b. Profanity
The use of all profanity on the SGW forums is prohibited at all times. This means swearing, cursing, and vulgarity. This includes the use of masking. Profanity in images (such as in signatures), videos linked (such as YouTube), or in articles linked is also prohibited.
Note:
Masking is using characters, HTML tags, or anything else to express a word that would otherwise be filtered; in other words, it's bypassing the filter. Profanity not a part of the main focus of the page being linked (such as advertisements or comments) will not be policed as they can change quickly and easily.
Consequence:
When only minor profanity is used, only a Verbal Warning may be issued. In all other cases a Board Warning will be issued. In the case of Masking a Board Warning will always be issued.
Ok Haz, you are getting silly with this mate...what's up? Please inform me exactly what I have done. There is nothing justified in this whatsoever.
Please refrain from using different languages?
Viva la resistancé has been changed to an English term due to it's popularity during WW2. Ok, maybe the "ferme la bouche" comment, but it is very basic French and more of a joke.
If the warning is not revoked I am planning on taking it to the ombudsman because that is completely ridiculous...so please consider that.
Board warning was for profanity, not using a foreign language. Your use of the term "coqnose".
Verbal warning was for "ferme la bouche". It doesn't matter how basic it may be. And I chose to remove "viva la revolution" at the same time to save from any drama later, as some users would probably complain that I left some there.
Ok, so I am being verbally warned for using a French term and also being given a warning for profanity for a French word.
This is ridiculous, in what way does the word coq nose relate to profanity?
Juliette, tell this moron of an uncultured American fool where to go. A board warning for this is unreasonable and no application of common sense has been applied in the slightest, you can't warn for one thing and then applier harsher warnings for another thing. It's contradictory and evidence of somebody who is looking for reasons to vindicate somebody for something so small.
I have seen far worse ignored. This is showing biased contempt for myself, I am not the only person that this has happened to. I have been board warned in the past for something and another player who used to be a mod said the same thing. He did not get warned.
Sure, i'm a bit feisty and aggressive on these forums but c'mon, this is stupid...
