Slight update to rule #3

I've noticed a lot of cussing on the forum lately that I have to keep editing it out. It's always been a rule here that we don't want cussing or profanity on the forum. Like most things here, this rule is not exactly based on my personal opinions (anyone that knows me certainly know this), but on a nice balance of what makes this forum more appealing to the majority of people. For anyone who hasn't noticed there are very few rules here, so it shouldn't be too hard to follow them. I've seen other forums out there where I don't even want to post, because I feel like it is almost impossible to not break one of their rules. Personally I think it's ridiculous.

 

So I don't know... maybe Rule 3 wasn't clear enough. I just added two more descriptive words to it, so it should be pretty clear now. I added "indecent" and "profane", defined the same way the FCC defines them.

 

3. No posting any messages that are obscene, indecent, profane, vulgar, sexually oriented, or violate any US laws.

 

As a reminder, this particular rule, like most of them doesn't apply in the chat room, but out of respect to one of our most valued moderators (Crystals), please don't use that kind of language when she is in there. If you do she might just give you the boot! :warning:

You can't say "bomb" on the air plane, Tpro4.

Maybe the rule isn't worded exactly right. What it means is no discussing or planning of illegal activity here.
