Perhaps not a big issue.

But we should swear at every opportunity on this forum.

This isn't a pne related thread, it should be moved immediately.

But we always used to write expletives with asterixes etc.

But now it is common for contributors to write any profanity in full.

Just thinking about our younger forum members.

I am imagining this? Has something changed?

Agreed, perhaps time for some action to be taken by the ones with the necessary authority. Disagreeing with others opinions is one thing, but there are some on here who when they have their opinions challenged, have to resort to the language of the gutter as a response. No need for it, we should all show each other proper respect............right?
 
I always use an asterisk with the c-word, but yeah it probably is quite bad. I'm more concerned with the gooch using racist terms in my wind up thread.
 
I haven't seen any rules for this forum that say you shouldn't swear - are there any rules? Personally I wouldn't like to see it banned, football's a passionate business, I'm sure any young PNE fan would hear worse at Deepdale on matchday, or in the school yard as well for that matter 😉
 
As it says when you log on to the main board, 'colourful language' may be used, so it's not like it's totally out of the blue! (Pardon the awful pun!)

If a post is proper OTT with swear words etc then fair enough moderate it, but for the majority of posts should be left.

After all, it's a man game we're discussing, and the language used is nothing we haven't heard at a game or down the pub.
 
It's a football forum, there's bound to be some swearing. As long as it isn't used excessively and for no reason I don't see the problem.

Younger members of the forum (and I'm sure I fall into that category) have heard it all before anyway!
 
There is a slight difference between using profanities as spontaneous verbal exclamations and writing them when, by definition, they have to be typed deliberately and with intent. I am sure that racist abuse, one term in particular - we can all guess which one, would be excised and the individual responsible censured and even banned if it were used here, so you could make a case for asking people to at least use asterisks in the case of the most common 'four letter' words. You don't have to be overly prudish to find them offensive and offputting. The fact that these things get used in conversation is no justification for their use elsewhere - in fact when they get spattered round all over the place they lose their force and if saying '****' has no effect what the **** is the point of saying it.

I agree. PLus theres no-one that young on here anyway- at 19 im probably one of the babies of the forum 🙂
 
in reference to the language used on matchdays, it is appalling, it can be embarrassing taking the kids on. but unfortunately some of the worst language comes from youngsters and rough women🙁

Oh my days this made me PMSL! quality.

I do like a bit of a swear on matchday though.

Last year, on the finney, I shouted 'f*ckin sh*te ref' and i almost got thrown out. V Norwich some racist bigots (probably including the goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch) were calling dickson a 'spearchucker' and a few other racist jibes. Unsurprisingly, nothing was said- the stewards at PNE are incompetent jobsworths.
 
To be honest I spend most of my life being politically correct and using the correct terminology. This site for me is a bit of paradise in which I feel that I can write without fear of retribution. Saw flippin eck leve itt alooone.
 
Well , i cant frackfrackfrackfrackin speak , have you nothing better to frackfrackfrackfrackin moan about , for frackfrackfrackfrack sake , live and let live , frackfrackfrackfrackin hell.

Rosie, Surfs daughter, is probably one of the youngest if not THE youngest and I think she's about 10 years old. Sorry Rosie if I'm making you younger than you are but it's always better for girls if you give their age as less than it is.
 
I for one are fed up of these clowns trying to drag my game down to pantomine status.

If your not keen on a bit of 'effin and blindin i suggest you steer well clear of this "football" forum and certainly well clear of THE working man's game. Alreet?

Now nob-off you sad pc c***s! 😛
 
How come frackfrackfrackfrack has replaced frackfrackfrackfrack on this forum now and by frackfrackfrackfrack i mean frackfrackfrackfrack (S H I T) hahaha
