Several people have been circumventing the f-word s-word filtration system by enclosing the vowel in italics.
I have been guilty of doing this too but and yet I AM THE ONE who got pm'd by one of the mods warning me to stop this......WHY only me?

Cool, it does work!

You used the F word, if you have to convey the message, switch
some of the letters around, I use one for a popular retail chain.
But its still not a good idea use that sort of language, that includes
me, and I know I am guilty of cussing people out.

Which of these members have you reported to the moderators?

I send warnings to every person I see who does it. I also invariably edit their posts, where they have broken the rules like this, removing everything that might be even vaguely called a swearword. I then tend to examine all their recent posts, which I have now done for you.

Other than being rather too quick to jump on the bully-bandwagon of those who publicly accuse people of being trolls, when they plainly are not, I can see nothing much to complain of. I would suggest that you refrain from such public accusations, in future.

If you feel we have a troll present, send a PM to a mod, as we ask you to do. If the case is particularly offensive/obscene, by all means post to the "Mod ATTN" thread, as that will attact the attention of even the non-active mods.

We certainly do get real trolls, from time to time. Posting a graphic in the thread they have opened and/or swearing at them does nothing useful. It certainly does not attract our attention. It just encourages the troll.

Fair enough. Check your PM.

This would be to receive the message where you point me at the thread I examined yesterday, because of the unfounded accusations against a member of being a troll, which is exactly the thread where I edited your post to remove attempts at circumventing the filter, which is why I PMed you to warn you not to do it again?

You're right, my bad.
