Our program's word filter usually stars out an unacceptable word ( *** ), but sometimes it misses one. For example when using Richard's nickname - D i c k - the program will star it out -" See Jane run. Jane and *** are having fun running." As a moderator, if I see something unacceptable I will just automatically change or delete it and send a message to the author. But we can't see it all.

In the past my example above was the rule, however, when I made this post, **** was accepted by the word filter. Hm-m-m-m-m.

I've really not seen truely vulgar language here but I may not have seen the posts thanks to our moderators. If I don't want to go to a thread I have that option too.

I have, in an angry moment, said some s*it and I do just exactly that and at times made it thru. But seriously, with some people it's hard to be decent, but after years of fighting with newcomers or irritating pseudo tortoise experts, and threatened with expulsion many times, Oh lordy here goes....we are not here to fight with people, simply, we are here for the tortoises, and profane language ain't necessary,DSCN0737.JPG
