I thought not swearing in the presence of women, children and the elderly was also a basic social skill. We have people from every demographic on this forum and people swear completely inappropriately.
I personally don't appreciate allot of the language used on this forum and I don't consider myself a prude. The way some of you carry on I'm sometimes embarrassed to call my self an AussieVeeDubber.
I come on here to talk dubs, not read profanity. So while you guys are pointing fingers maybe a bit of naval gazing is in order.

I Wholeheartedly agree with Mike on this One....
Leave the language on Your porn sites.....
A Lot of Females are on this Forum....
I'm a moderator on another VW site in North America and Language would not be tolerated there...
actually, its not tolerated in any of the overseas forums I frequent....
so it means folks, Many of Us aren't using "Normal" language....
when on Aussie Vee Dubbers....
Just remember where you are when on Aussie Vee Dubbers.... and How many people do read what you are writing....
I thought this Forum was for VW and related stuff...

What has not swearing in front of women have to do with anything? It's not the 1950s anymore. If you're not going to swear then at least do it to not offend anyone, any sex, any age. I find the sexist nature of half these posts more offensive than swearing, and most of my previous girlfriends swear a lot more than me.

well, we've decided that some people have "multiple" log ins, for legit reasons.
Some people have one user name.
Some people have one name and an alter-ego that they use just to have a go at someone else from time to time - (seems Mr Torrens is a target for that).
Some people have previously been banned for not following the rules, or rather thinking that rules cannot apply to them, as they have a god given right to make the rules in the first place ... then then can't accept that fact that there is even the slightest possibility that when the aliens come to wipe the planet, that they won't be chosen as the worlds smartest person to negotiate survival - which of course is easy - as nothing is better than them - so have returned with a new user name - and forget all previous banning reasons and carry on being Fuckwits.
People with legit usernames (single or multiple) ... dislike Fake Users (aka Fuckwits).
It's hard for mods to spot a fake quickly, so the nice positive people have a moral, social duty to expose Fake Users - who are almost guaranteed to be Fuckwits.
Non-fuckwits, from time to time, have moments of poor decision, though this does not render them life-time fuckwits - as they are able to recognise the possibility that they may have been in-correct. This is the ebb and flow of forum life.
Demonic frenzied quoting is a warning sign - it should be used with care - if you reply to almost all threads by quoting, you may need think if this is a sign...but then if you're a fuckwit then you this would not apply to you now would it.
So fake users, who don't come clean are annoying at best. They usually have some axe to grind, or some politcal agenda they want to push, or perhaps they never tire of quoting ...
Well, thats what I take out of it ... and seems like 'good' people have no problem in anyone else outing a FAKE user. Name and shame, name and shame.

problem is.... i get 'fuckwitted' even by people with real names.... 🙁
Everytime i get a u2u, although it has been yonks since its happened (got a defam post, or someone going nuts at me...) lately people just hold the grudges like barkin' female dogs for the noob i was MORE than 12 months ago... I was under 18 then and hadnt been familiar with any internet forum socialising with peoples i didn't know..., and therefore had to learn the process of healthy forum socialising and to see the other people on the forum as real, breathing humans with real feelings, thoughts and emotions. And now that i understand that... i see older people on the forum bag me out for being $h!t head a while back, despite their own behaviour...
I still do get a little chill in my spine everytime i get a new u2u... They say that in the world, the male is a dieing race, but to be honest, there still seems to be alot of d#cks around... (if u get hte joke... regardless really of gender)

Why is using the "Quote" function such a taboo?
If you want to comment on a specific part of a comment and would like everyone else to know what you are refering to then is that acceptable use? Why not hit the F*ckwits where it really hurts them and disable the quote function. Mess with their heads a little!
Enlighten me oh great one, for I am a mere mortal......
Next you'll tell me I can't use the cute little smiley faces either?😂

maybe its the other way round and its the fkwts ( not making references to any fkwts or other normal sanes *now that there appear to be categories*) that dont want you to use the quote function, cause once they have seen their own stupid dribble in print, the still have the chance to erase it. once its quoted, then there is nothing the quoted can do. hmmmm. i wonder!😂

I think the quote function is handy, because it enables you to reply to that quote, not the off topic, thread hijacking, bullshit whinges in between it and your response.
This net etiquette is a rooly rooly weird thing and I don't think I am ever going to work it out.

damn, I hadn't though it through. Brilliant! - quoting as a safety mechanism to ensure dribble is un-deletable. So many uses for such a handy little button. Works on so many levels, just like Sting after he left the Police really.

Lee
Since about 12 months after Jim Gow had a great idea & kicked off this site, there have been people (and don't think I'm singling you out here Lee) have felt the need to compare it with other forums.
Let me make this perfectly clear;
I don't give a flying f#ck how other forums are run. I certainly couldn't care less about how foreign forums are run.
When this site kicked off, it was the ONLY Australian VW forum.
If your going to make comparisons, all other Australian VW forums must be compared to this one. Not the other way around. And NEVER to a foreign forum. They just don't count.
As to the question of language, you said it yourself Lee. Aussie Vee Dubbers.
Go for a walk down the main street of Scone, that pink pub used to do a nice counter lunch, & tell me what you hear is different to what I write.
This is, for the most part, how Aussies speak.
Get on a bus or train full of school kids, then try to convince me that MY language may offend THEM.
For those who feel the need to continually compare this forum negatively with others, the answer is so obvious I don't even feel the need to type it.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

Folks - calm down.
Aussieveedubbers has a set of rules and the moderators here try as best they can to stick to them. If you don't like a post, click the Report button and we'll take a look at it.
This place has many folks under the age of 18. We opened Bad Attitude to cater for the over 18 type stuff including pictures with nudity. I, and probably most moderators, turn a blind eye to most swearing outside of Bad Attitude as long as it's not out of context for exactly the reasons Spook mentions (it's an Australian forum run by Australians for Australians). Kicking other member's heads in, or being a prick or idiot for the sake of it is not tolerated. That's why it's in the rules that we will warn - then ban if they don't stop - users displaying such behavior. However, we grow the fastest when we act like a family orientated site and every one is friendly. I prefer that and don't mind when the mods stomp on people being dickheads.
