You’re joking, right?
I'm not ignoring some instances on purpose. Show me what I missed and I'll tweak the auto-correct accordingly.
Cunt, dick, dick sucker, idiot, dick sucking, bitch, asshole. All searchable, all recently used.

Your autocorrect does seem to turn “bullsh*t” into “bull crap” and “f*Celestial Kingdom*ng” into “freaking” or “damning,” though, so there’s that.

One request. Could you at least set “C-UNT” to be replaced with “Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent”? Please? PRETTY-please??? The italics, too. If you don’t mind. 8-)

Who cares? You aren't moderating other instances of filthy language in this forum so what possible difference does it make?
??? Of course I am. What instances am I not?
Point #1: I'm from Jersey. I'm not at all offended by the language I see used in this forum.

Point #2: Just delete the board rules and I'm good.

Point #3: If you think I'm going to take my time to forward you a list of infractions, you're out of your mind.

You have a search feature.
You have a moderator panel.
You have the ability to read these threads just as easily as you read and located dantana's post with what you believe are grammatical and spelling errors and then decided to make a new topic thread about it mirroring your previous thread about grammar and spelling.

It is no skin off my nose if people are using salty, filthy, colorful, whatever, language on this board. The first board I posted on for 10 years had no rules at all. What I object to is presenting a board with rules that are not being employed. So, delete the board rules, let's drop the hypocrisy, and we'll all just have at it.

Well, bully for you.

I'll get right on it. As long as you're good, nobody else matters, right?

As long as I am good? Wasn't that you who recently and profusely thanked this community and those who contributed to this new board for saving your baby?

For what reason are you now letting your baby turn to crap?

Well thank you, Shades. I guess. C-unt is now replaced with “ cunt. ” No-go on “charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent,” huh?

You're a busy guy and deserve time off. Plus I'm sure you have plenty of projects you want to work on. So, no need to hurry on our accounts. I'm more than happy with fewer not more auto-corrections.

Is the auto-correct the same thing as the censor mode? If not, why spend time on auto-correct at all?

It's not the language, as I indicated earlier, I don't flinch at the language. I never have the censor mode on because I don't care to. It's the violation of board rules that aren't being dealt with. Derails and that sort of thing. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see threats raise their ugly board-violating head around here again and watch them just sit there.

I have consistently defended your right to a life and personal time over what, 15 years now? We need another moderator to come on board. If you disagree, fine. But without violation corrections, the place takes on a free for all effect where people are left to slug it out. Is that what you want?

I can live with Lord of the Flies. But that is not how this board is presented.

OK. So as I have mentioned before, Shades will need to find a board member who:

(a) Has the ability to perform the functions of a moderator.
(b) Is likely to be trusted by other posters to act fairly and consistently.
(c) Is willing to take on the job.

Do you know anyone who fulfils all those criteria? If so, PM Shades, and I am sure he will recruit that person straight away.

Otherwise ...
