All the 'moderators' have to do is star '*' out any words they don't want seen on here! Jesus it really is that simple sometimes! Oh and titanic you are a hero!

It's all about context isn't it. A lot of the swearing on here is used for 'hard man' posturing, or abusing others.
Lets not kid ourselves it's acceptable because it's a site for grown ups because swearing isn't really a grown up thing.
There are some very good posters who never seem to feel the need swear.

I believe the moderators have a duty to protect viewers from this and either warn or then ban people that post with swearing content. It makes this site look unprofessional.
I swear in real life, I swear on the internet. If a FANS football site was all about looking professional and toeing the club line, I wuld f*** RIGHT OFF elsewhere. You won't appreciate this post, but I think the majority want swears on here... surely?

Sorry richmond - you have identified the nature of this site. It is not a site which I would allow a child to use. It's your job as the parent to regulate their access on their behalf. Kids don't have the right of access to everything all the time - NSC can be childish but is not for children.
There are plenty of other sources of information about BHA that your kids could use without the fear of hearing swear words. It's your job to find these and introduce them to your kids. It's not my job to moderate my language on here and it's not the mods' (or Bozza's) job to delete swear words or deliver a 'professional' service.
Using the NSC litmus test for all conversations - you're chatting in a pub, there will always be bores who can only communicate by swearing. And is that the Landlord I can hear "no under 14's in the bar please".

Ulysses is ranked the #1 (english language)book of all time.
It's also full of profanities.
It's cultured to swear.

What I find offensive is certain parents constantly telling everyone else how they should behave because of their children's supposed sensibilities. Life is not a bed of polite roses and it's good that children learn that. If you have children and let them use the internet and go on/in predominantly adult-inhabited places like football messageboards or pubs then that's your choice and your responsibility, no-one else's.

I really think it would be impossible to moderate a forum for swearing without making it a full time job, and frankly I personally have no inclination to do so.
The level of what is posted on here has to reflect the majority of users and how they act at a football match. I take my son to football and he occasionally visits NSC. He has been taught to realise that swearing at football is what happens and NSC reflects this. Obviously we will moderate abuse, bullying etc but just using bad language is very much part and parcel of the game and therefore also NSC. I really can't see this ever changing.

The abuse by keyboard warriors is mindless internet thuggery and usually an attempt to intimidate and should be stamped out.
But I agree with most, moderate your son, it is not the responsibility of NSC and swearing is part and parcel of life. Live with it.

This.
Also I'd rather see a clamp down on trolls and keyboard warriors being nothing but rude to other posters than the odd bit of swearing.
On the terraces however we like to swear at "gay boys"...as do most League club supporters, if a steward ain't looking. Be interesting to run a count of how many away supporters this season will be ejected/arrested at falmer for "homophobic abuse"...
and how many arrests for importuning in the toilets.

One letter wrong there.
Mind you the Bible talks about "Sodomites" and swaying that at an Elton John concert would probably get you arrested.

My responses in that thread were out of order, but i will add that user seems to pick up on my posts, i also still want to know what the Bradford City fire has to do with the disaster, what annoyed me is that people come into threads post a response that does not mean much without giving a reason for what they believe, when questioned they get defensive on the issue, i should not have called him a moron thats all i feel i did wrong in that thread.
