 |  Language hey guys I've noticed something over the last couple weeks: people have been using more and more 'obscene' language. not to call anyone out, but Battle-Ranch: Quote:
from: http://www.40kterra.com/forums/showt...5930#post55930 its not that big a deal, and i didnt give a warning because i wanted everyone to see this instead of just the admin. so cmon guys, you dont have to curse to get a point across.

| I too am guilty of this and will try to watch myself...but there are some points that not necessarily require the use of a four letter word but come across with more vigor and make use of the fact that it is something noteworthy or important...or in some cases just down right exclamitory...which is the authors preferance...

| Look i use swear words in my every day life but in here we are a community of mostly adults and we should keep in mind that not every member is and adult. We are gamers so on average we are smarter than the average person walking about. so lets try and use our brains and expand our voca.. vocab.. **** use better words

Blog Entries: 1 | While we're on the thread of language, i'd like to raise the issue of slang & msn speak. Eg. the above post. I don't want to point fingers, so i won't but, is this rule going to be abolished or are the mods coming to stop it? We can't really hang about in the middle... Just a thought, it nags me alot on forums & indeed the entire internet =p I don't see the need to shortern words. Yeah, sure, it saves time. Maybe 2 seconds of time. It's not worth shorterning a bunch of simple, easy to type words for example, and God this annoys me "u". Why "u"? Why not spend that extra SECOND to type "you". Ach, i'm ranting aren't i? |
