Use of foul language on the Forum

[Cindy]

By agreeing to be members of the site you accept the Terms of Service that govern the site. If you do not accept those terms then I shall not accept you as a member.

I remind everyone of this:

https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,159177.0.html

If new members (after receiving a link to the ToS and before 15 posts) use of foul language it will be edited and a warning given.

If full members use foul language you will receive a smite for each offence. If you reach 5 smites for foul language you will have 20 days away from the site to learn how to use the richness of language to express yourself without resorting to foul language.

I will give latitude to people in extreme emotional distress, but it will be at my discretion.

I'd like to add that this policy extends to the chat rooms on Susan's site. If you use bad language the bot will kick you. If you mask your bad language you will receive a warning from the moderators. If you mask your bad language in an attack on someone or on some group of people you will be kicked from the channel by a moderator. If you feel they overstepped, of course, you may appeal to the chat administrator or Susan.

The thing is, we are a support site and as such we need to make our space as safe as we possibly can. Bad language, words that can offend people, particularly minors, makes the space less safe. That's why it's prohibited.  Thank you!

hugs & smiles,

Do things like "WTF" fall under the F^%K type of stuff?

I'm more lenient on that as it is so common and it is family OK
