Foul language and crude posts.

Please get in touch with GNHQ directly and they will give you advice.

I have reported said post and been told it is acceptable.

I truly wonder what we are becoming.

The guidelines are that a post which contains foul or offensive language will be deleted if it is seen by GNHQ, or reported by a member.
Otherwise, it won’t be.
A further day-to -day variation is that the definition of foul and offensive is subjective and varies with the prevailing weather conditions and whether or not the moderators have had their daily rations of cake.

I’ve obviously missed something!

Bad language can usually be crossed out by the moderators.

? ? ?

Well I refuse to cut and paste it, but I find it offensive and feel sad for the OP.

oh no you are going all Arcuri on us - complain but not tell.

It is very strange which threads are deleted and which are not. It is very subjective.

Where ? Which thread ?

I can't find it!!

Oh shite. Have I said a rude word again?

Was it boob ?

Actually, I'm finding the word cake rather offensive at the moment so please desist from mentioning it.

Silly OP. Read the guidelines yerself.

Must say that they are clearly removed before I log-in, they must know how delicate my sensibilities are

Just how much cake did you have to mention, MawB?

That much is against my guidelines

Clearly not enough

I feel a Father Jack moment coming on Cake! Cake!

No gonegirl surprisingly not you on this occasion.

Talk Guidelines can be found at the bottom of the page, grapefruitpip

Below the emoji for cake.

Is it the toilet one? Or to let. Whatever it is. I've seen it but not read it.

I don't think it can be.

I was 4 when I realised that toilet wasn't a rude word.

I was just having a look at Netiquette on GN. I came across this (nothing to do with OP)

"If a thread is deleted, please resist the temptation to start a new one, repeating and rehashing everything that has been deleted: that would be very bad manners"

Bad manners? daft buggers They're having a larf aren't they.

I think it was the one mentioning finances!!

DH complains that I repeat myself.

DD mentioned it too - "yes, mother, you've already told me that - twice".

I think GNHQ should be making allowances for us, this is not Mumsnet.

Or the one entitled 'difficult position'

What did you say Callistemon?
