Language on the Boards - Motorola Q Forum

Tony Bag o Donuts · 03-04-2008, 09:15 AM

Please, can we try and keep the language under control?
I use words just as bad as anybody out there, but these are public forums.
More and more kids are using smartphones, etc. and probably are well versed in alternate english

, but this is still a public forum.

Thanks...
End of rant.

Thanks Tony! I agree whole heartedly.

we try to keep the language under control but can not catch everything
if you see something that is offensive or inappropriate please let RB and/or myself know and we will take care of it

but yes...as Tony has said...please watch what you say, this is a public forum open to all, and we respect the freedom of speech. but with that said we have to make sure it is suitable for all.

don't forget and when sounding like a, as in neighbor and weigh, and on Thursdays and holidays and through the whole month of May...

just wondering.. what triggered this ? and yes as Scott said let us know and we will "censor" it out. (which may mean i have to "censor" myself :}

one thing that was not sitting well with me (even though i am a hetero sexual man) people saying "this is gay" when something did not work and i did change a few of those..

ditto with rb's last point

my language sometimesmay get colorful, but I try and keep it less than daytime TV.

Look towards the end of the original xt thread.
But there have been other posts.
I personally dont care, but I was just thinking it violates Terms of Service...

not sure if this is or is not in the TOS.. in my opinion if somebody finds something offensive, pm the mod(s), what's offensive to one maybe "normal" and acceptable to another.. + i think Scott (and Chris) agree with me here, we try not to over moderate.. and speaking solely for me, i am very liberal when it comes to these matters.
