Someone tell me why swearing is tolerated by mods on arbtalk?

Dont get me wrong. Swearing's good.

Like the saying goes:

"Those who can do, those who cant cunt"

Presumably primarily because there's no filter on the forum. As a Mod on another forum, much hilarity, exasperation and debate came from what was/wasn't, should/shouldn't be tolerated. 

Secondary reason: Because we're all big, robust, grown up unshockable outdoorsy types? ?

Are you unable to string a sentence together without using expletives? if you can’t i feel terribly sorry for you. 

 

infact, if your so offended by having you foul language moderated maybe you should find another forum to ‘contribute’ to?

There was a no swearing policy that was pretty much upheld for a long time. The change in server removed a filter and now it seems to be fairly common place. No entirely sure its necessary.

 

Anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes with me in the right situation will know that I'm prone to a few expletives. When you have to type them out, it becomes a bit redundant and pointless. That's not to say I've not slipped and done so myself.

 

There is a difference between how you talk on the shop floor, in here and in a customer's garden. Although maybe there isn't. I know I wouldnt be shouting swear words from the top of a tree in a garden. Maybe some would.

What do I know though.

Can you PM an estimate for a day's hire of your big drum chipper? It's the last of our eucalyptus logs. Over 100. 3-5 mtr lengths. 30cm dia max. Thanks

The BSC (braying ski Cnut ) was out doing his recycling in his Lycra, nearly lost my shit with laughter. He was still wearing his £200 cycling shoes too, they match his £3000 carbon fibre bike don’t you know, well yes I do cos the BSC never stops fucking telling me . I will never be able to look at him again without laughing. Cheers Kriss you’ve made my week ! 

You are welcome as ever, shall now cycle down t' corner shop in my Doc Martens n cut off jeans on my Dutch Front n Bach, with full wicker that would please Miss Marple immensely, just in case I need to kick one of those B.S.C up the arse fr not social distancing.  You can be assured Mr@Stubby I will be wearing my best Tilley for the jaunt. ( facial recognition - you can't be too careful now. )

So thats not implied by putting ****?

 

Sounds like you're taking the **** and being a bit of a **** by moaning about a point that doesn't need making. 

 

That's your perogative though and just my opinion. If you disagree, stick it up your **** and **** off. 

 

Not swearing though.
