Why are we censored on PM’s? I thought what went on in private stayed private. I mean swear words by the way.
Be nice to vent steam and stuff.

Hi bigvern1,
What goes on in PMs should indeed stay private, but privacy is nothing to do with the way in which the auto-censor is set to catch certain words.
Of course, somebody might choose to employ auto censor dodges in PMs and there’s nothing that the Mod/Admin team can do about that, but… let’s just say that some folks are more delicate than others, so one man’s ‘letting off steam’ might be another man’s cause for a complaint of having received an abusive PM.
Forum rule #8 covers abusive PMs.
It’s the board host which configures the format, and if a word is banned then it can’t be used in PM’s, or even in the admin and moderators’ forum.
No buddy…I only PM people I want to. That’s the place to do it. If it’s someone I don’t like, I don’t even open them!
But the point is that nobody, including an admin, would be able to change it so that it was possible for swear words to be allowed in a PM. Possibly PhPBB could, but I don’t imagine they would.
I only asked…I ain’t that put out.

Err, I don’t think so!
Harry was a Mod here for a good while and a bloody good one- but times have moved on.

Sounds like a polite way of saying and won’t be again!

That’s right, he won’t be. 
I did about three or four years I suppose, but I prefer just being an ordinary member. I put up with abuse at work all day, why should I have to put up with it on here too?
I have the greatest respect for the people who supervise the sandpit, but I have no ambitions whatsoever to be a sandpit supervisor again!
