Well after watching someone who had never read this forum before flick through the posts I was almost disgraced. Not only did he not have a clue what was going on but he was appalled at the mass amounts of gratuitous swearing that goes on. I think it is about time we all got a little older, a little wiser and cut out the obscenities. It is not particularly tasteful and it makes most people look like idiots. How many of you right now are gonna post your replies to this screeching every nasty word you can think of over and over again in a poor attempt to be funny. It reflects badly on QGL and there is a lot of younger people who reads the site. |

It's an interesting point the problem is it's still gonna happen, even with everyone who has agreed. Someone's gonna say something that bothers someone and they're gonna go rankt telling them what a F*&%#ing ahole they are and other pleasent words. So good uck trying to convert the male way of thinking |

If you really think about it, its really not needed at all PLUS you start having problems when you start swearing in normal conversations and you dont even realise it. |

Being disqualified for swearing is a bad idea. Sure, I agree, if you are abusing the other team or players, then fine, disqualify all you like. But, it's like a natural reaction for me when I die is to hit talk and say 'f***!' or something. |

We aren't NAZI's there still is freedom of speach in this country I dont think there is really a need to go too far with this as it will probably make them problem worse. I just want people to read their posts before they confirm them and make sure they dont contain sensitive material. |

Yeah, this is all true. Besides, calling someone a 'Obese Arabian coprophilliac' seems to have more of an impact than simply accusing someone of being a 's*** head'. I only use swear words to emphasise my f***ING point. Brutish? Yes. Effective? Yes. BTW: Coprophilliac = A person who compulsively eats human excrement. |

the only "public humiliation" occured when that image comp was going on, and all participants knew they would have image edits posted of them, so thats ok. you cant "publicly humiliate" someone by calling them a faget because: 1) Its just an internet messageboard, and few ppl know who you actually are and 2) ppl see the language and insults so much they dont mean anything anymore. To new users, it may be offensive, but they'll get over it. |

okies gents, here is my over opinionated opinion... the world that we live in is a very nasty place. if you ask me, there is no point trying to stop kids from swearing or trying to control what they see on teev, or on the internet. some day or another they will be introduced to profanity, sex, drugs, violence and so on and so forth. and how dare other ppl such as f*** head sensors for example try to stop YOU from reading or watching something that you might enjoy. These ppl are just self-centred twats trying to FORCE they're point of view upon you. a lot of what young kids see nowadays is from the teev or the net. as far as i'm conserned the media is a nessasary evil. So my position on all of this, is f*** IT. they are going to get caught up in it in some way shape or form. you can't help it or stop it. you just have to live with it. |

While a lot of what you say is true Corpse if we all thought F#CK IT and gave up where would the world be. Progress is made through censorship and rules. I am not asking people to place restrictions on what they say I would just like them to think about how this may be affecting people outside the conversation. |

Hehe I have no problem with Hugh in real life he is a good bloke. We both act like a bunch of dicks online and on CS servers occasionally its just I have more power on one :) But when it comes down to it CS is a good place to vent. You get to run around killing things and shoot guns. |

Sprinkles is a christian. His language is pure and the thought of someone swearing is absolute blasphemy. Please respect his celebacy towards all forms of profanity. Personally, I think the word "f***" is very usefull, and it can be used in almost all circumstances. If anyone has a major issue with it, I'm sorry to break this to you, but the whole world is evil and swearing is the least of our worries. However, I will tone down on my swearing because I respect QGL and the decisions of the Admins - NOT because some -StreX |

Blink shut the f*** up already =/ I've known ross a lot longer than you lot have, and he's obviously spouting/preaching because he has a reason. Most posts i see on this board have every second word with f*** in it =P Swearing doesn't make you a big tough mature man, it emphasises a point, and if you over-use it, you're only proving what children you are. Mature, constructed, intelligent posts on this board would be a welcome change.... So put away the "f*** j00" crap for once, i'd like to see a few more outsiders getting into our little community... you get bored with the same old fagets day after day *g* =) Einstein |
