Exclamation Regarding the use of Profanity on this Forum

Members,

We have seen a big increase in the use of profanity lately. This requires much time and editing for our moderators, not to mention that it’s just not appropriate for our site.

Please remember that you agreed to the rules of the site after reading our Terms of Service. As stated in the TOS:

“No profanity: Vulgarities, obscenities, name-calling, character assassinations or mockery are not allowed on any of the Adoption.com community of websites. While there are appropriate topics of a mature nature, the vocabulary used needs to remain family friendly.”

Some examples of suitable words…heck, darn, dang, pain in the butt….much different than a lot of what we have been seeing lately.

Please take the time to make your posts suitable for discussion. If you have to ask if it’s suitable for posting, then don’t post it.

Thank you for your efforts,
The Moderating Team

Since our warnings/requests are being ignored on this forum - we will no longer be editing posts which violate our rule regarding cursing/profanity.

From this point forward, if you curse on this forum - your post will be deleted and you will have to resubmit in a fashion which does not violate our rules.

If you are deleted more than once for cursing/profanity - you will be banned.

We've tried really hard to be nice about this - but the nasty language continues.

This includes masking filthy language with symbols - the intent of your post MUST be family friendly...PERIOD!
