Why we have to do this every little while for people who have been around here for an extended period of time we don't know but...as is clearly posted in the forum rules, there is ZERO TOLERANCE around here for use of profanity. If you cannot make your point in english, do not make it. If you insist on using profanity you will be banned. Using symbols to replace characters in your profanity to avoid filters does not somehow make it acceptable. Profanity = Ban For those of you that are able to make your posts using proper language, feel free to notify us via PM when you notice a post that does contain profanity as you may be able to let us know about it before we noticed it.
