Risqué Comments

[kingdom hoop]

Just out of curiosity (albeit born out of an infraction) what are the general borders for what is deemed "inappropriate language", in particular language of a more sexual nature? I had a peek at the rules but there was no specific mention.

I would've thought those comments that are obviously likely to offend would not be tolerated, but more playful ones would be fine. I suppose if they're funny and not overly offensive there's no problem. Mine weren't really funny and were lewd, so I got punished, fair enough. But a little clarification on what is or isn't inappropriate would be welcome.

Cheers.

I had to write an "official policy" on this some time ago, for reasons that still aren't clear to me. I would have thought it was common sense.

If someone writes several paragraphs of excellent commentary and throws in a solitary sh*t, it would be silly to delete it. If someone posts something stupid with a solitary sh*t, or a string of invective that doesn't really add anything to the site, I don't see why it should stay.

Your post was laced with it, so well deserved imho.

Thanks for the reply.

I had no issue with my warning. There are many ways to describe things, pointlessly using female genitalia should not be one of them. In fairness there's a good sense of decorum throughout this forum so it's not a problem.

But in general I have it that once comments are useful in terms of being illustrative or funny, and aren't overly vulgar, then there's no problem. Hardly a need to start a thread to discover that. Sometimes I need to write things down to grasp them. Apologies!

used very selectively. post in the same thread as mine with same amount of curses yet no infraction.

Your post was about three lines long. If you have a problem with another post, report it. We get 500+ posts a day on Foot.ie, and I'm not OCD enough to read them all.
