I wanna drive down the road with that

 

wow... had to dig all the way to page 3 to find this stupid thing.... havent been able to chat much due to computer SNAFU.... the wireless internet thingy when ka-blewie! poof!

so that should also demonstrate that as little as i really know about trucks, i know less about computers (ECUs/ECMs included)
so yeah gonna see ALOT less of me for a while, someone copy/paste this into the MO forum for me... its one in the morning and i'm tired...

 

one more thing... with all seriousness and i'm not trying to be a smart aleck or rude/disrespectful. if cursing is already bleeped with the little * things then why would the post containing *s need to be deleted... not trying to be difficult and mabye its just 1 in the morning and i'm tired... but it dosent make sense to me...


anyway cya folks!

 

lol, you know. go to User CP, it will show threads you're following, this should be one of them.
brings you right to it

 

 

I know, I feel the same way. you got us an answer mr. moderator?

 

 

mr. moderator i diddent mean any disrespect, you've been more than kind to setup all those ausome stickies and take over the forum... it was nice to be free of responsiblity and punishment for a while, butevery now and then we need you guys to step in and keep us in line

 

bumpity bump bump

 

what are you taking about?

 

Okay, good question. You are correct. If the language filter catches a word that's not a reason alone to get a post removed. It does tell the rest of us something about someone who does it though. That they are discourteous, disrespectful, unmannerly, uneducated or just weren't raised the know the difference. But the language filter is in place to keep FTE clean. Not to keep our butt's out of a sling. The User Guidelines state:

2. Personal Conduct . Post language and material suitable for the home or office. Do not post foul language, racial epithets or sexually explicit content in any form. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In any form. That means if you habitually bump the language filter you are showing intent. A moderator can give you a friendly heads up, a formal warning or an infraction for using profanity. The asterisks may be removed because they often can generate more replys using the same language. The post can be removed if the moderator gets tired of you making more work for him and he's not going to reward you by cleaning up your posts.

Now in the case I believe you are refering to, the language filter wasn't bumped. But instead symbols were used to bypass the language filter. This is a worse breach of posting ettiquette because it shows you know better and are showing intent by getting around the language filter. Remember, in any form. Both the post and reply contained the F word not so cleverly disguised with symbols to get around the language filter. In this case, your friendly moderator removed both the post and the quoted reply to get someone's attention instead of rewarding them for breaking the rules by cleaning it up. Also, as it turned out, a good oppourtunity to help get the word out to the the rest of the forum.

You can read the User Guidelines by scrolling to the bottom of any page, or by clicking the hyperlink in my sig. That's the lesson for today. Thanks for being such a great group of guys and girls!

 

sorry, did not intend to make trouble or break any rules.

 

I know you didn't and I have a short memory. So don't appologize for stuff I already forgot about, LOL!
