I've nothing to hide in PMs mate. I've been straight up 100% on this board and that won't change. If folk are not interested, don't read. If folk are somehow embarrassed like yesterday, grow the fuck up. The more public something is, the chance of getting fucked over again is reduced. That's how I see it. I'm as keen to get answers and move on as everybody else is. Don't read? How about don't post about it all the fucking time then we wouldn't have to

If you're offended by swear words, just stop being offended by them if your offended by words and it can upset your life then a punch in the face is going to just ruin it.. perspective.. words are only weapons if you allow them to influence you.. a dirty great knife or a transit van used maliciously are going to sting a bit.. words ignored or that attract only contempt are wasted words.. words that are meant to shock or offend do neither if the hearer decides to be neither.. shocking and offensive people hate to be ignored..

OK, so I'm in the minority here, but I don't think there is a need to put swear words in writing in a public forum. I do swear and I'm not against swearing, but in a private context. Many of the posters on DATM seem to throw swear words around like confetti, and there's no need. Swearing on DATM to other posters is simply not acceptable, and there's too much of that.

Context. Its all about context. They're just words anyway. Even the much maligned 'C word' which guess what? Its still only a word, it doesnt come armed with an AK-47

Kids do view this forum and we now will have far more attention from new supporters/young supporters etc. If we are the 'official' forum then we need to be responsible.

I imagine on the 'coarse language' - kids are a little less sensitive than some adults on here. It was a while ago now, but I remember vividly the kind of conversations that went on at school. And anyway, parents should be monitoring what those kids view online and determining whether or not conversations with grown ups are OK with them or not. If they choose not to its not up to everyone else to sensor the world for them.

Sometimes swearing is good. Sometimes it isn't. Hope this helps.

I'd allow most things so long as it doesn't descend into petty, childish name-calling. If you can't discuss something rationally, don't discuss it. If you can, the presence of the odd swear word shouldn't detract from anything.
Other than that, swear as much as you like as far as I'm concerned.
I voted "yes", but although I'd prefer it that way, I don't feel particularly strongly about it, so if people disagree - that's fine.

Personal foul mouthed insults are pathetic, cowardly. Yes and they are covered in the board rules - it's an offence if reported.

For me, not that I find swearing particularly offensive there was a notable improvement on this board the last time swearing was banned..
Almost as if we were having an intelligent conversation about footballl rather than shouting at each other.
I also think swearing does alter the tone of a point and counter point, if anyone is like me if someone swears in relation to a point I've made I'm like "oh yeah what's this guys problem then"
And for me that is as simple as it can be boiled down to

Don't think it is so clear cut. Some swearing is ok but some is totally unacceptable .IMO. Democracy will decide Used as a personal insult then it should be a ban for the poster, but if only used as everyday language I don't see a problem.

I only really object to the C. word I find it very offensive ( even if it is in the OED) .Totally agree if any is aimed as a personal insult then it should result in a ban. I will as I said earlier abide by the democratic decision.

Don't see the point in wasting time typing a swear word myself but I don't care if others want to, as long as they are not attacking another poster.

I would have thought the issue there is the personal attack, not the swear word(s)!

If kids are actually going to watch town games they'll not only hear swearing but see grown men hurling abuse at opposition players/fans, referee etc. I remember being taken aback by it all when I was a kid. But that's just seen as "part of football" and even "the experience".
We're living in a time where 90% of kids under 14 have already seen explicit porn ffs. I really don't think reading some bloke say fuck on a Huddersfield Town football forum is the most concerning obstacle facing young people these days. I can't bear the 'kids read this' argument.
I think the vast majority would agree that abusing and threating behaviour towards other posters are totally unnecessary on this forum. Goes without saying for 99% of people tbh.

Swearing isn't essential to get your point across effectively. Swearing at each other on the forum to be abusive isn't acceptable behaviour in my opinion and again isn't required just because a user can't hold their patience. Children reading the board shouldn't really come into it but rather acceptable behaviour toward each other should be the main reason and just showing each other respect. I've a potty mouth and terrace language like the best of us don't get me wrong I just don't tend to do it on here as I don't think it adds value.

As a rule of thumb, if someone swears at me in an argument/debate then I know that I've 'won' or made my point. I find that most folks tend to swear when they've run out of things to say to back up their point. In my opinion there IS too much swearing on here and it does irritate me, but I have learned to 'read around' it, and also block serial offenders. Opinions, eh?

Some words are a step too far. Peterborough and QPR. Just no need for that.

If the chosen filter words are as follows I'll vote no, otherwise I'm voting yes.
Shit = (Jason) Davidson Twat = (Garry) Monk Bastard = (Steve) Bruce Fuck = (Neil) Warnock* Dickhead = (Ken) Davy Wanker = (Barry) Rubery Arse = Arsene (Wenger)
Feel free to add any I have missed.
*For those who don't get this, it's a loose association with the fact he may have left us for shagging the chairman's wife. Also names in brackets could be removed to keep the filters down to just one word.

Personally I don't see what it adds, yet it risks offending. What's the upside...?

Swear words are a fact of life, context is a different matter:
'That was fucking great you silly c***' v 'I fucking hate you, you absolute c***'. Same meat different gravy.
Then there's audience. The old women and children consideration. Same as match day for me, if you don't like it don't go or in this case log on.

Swearing is currently acceptable on this board, as it is predominantly frequented by adults. It is not acceptable in certain circumstances, currently dictated by the forum rules. we do not expect this rule to change regardless. Are you still happy to allow the use of swear words on the forum? If you choose for them to be banned, we can apply swear filters which will simply change swear words to less aggressive words (chosen by admin) They are allowed or they are not - no line drawn between certain swear words. Over to you - 1 week. For me, swearing lacks vocabulary, class, humilty & respect. Therefore, I only swear when I have run out of those virtues (which is quite often !)

I thought the 'twat' thread was funny..and so in the right context can add humor to a comment...but never to be used against another poster, unless they are indeed a 'twat'. ?
