Public Service Announcement: Profanity in Happy Hour
Hey guys.
Being the buzzkiller that I am, I'm going to be setting some ground rules for the Happy Hour board regarding profanity. This isn't necessarily a forum wide policy, but you may as well get in the habit.
Profanity isn't out of control, but it's definitely making a bigger appearance on the board than it has in recent years. It's not that I don't swear, but in moderation and only when it's appropriately expressive. One of the things I've always appreciated at Gametavern is the fact that the members maintained a level of decency on the boards without the need for administrative moderation. With new members joining the forum, censorship is becoming more of a concern. Both in the profanity they bring to the forums, and what they take from the forums and use elsewhere. There are no age restrictions to join Gametavern and a degree of care needs to be taken. Aside from that, I think it's just common courtesy to keep it clean.
I'm not after anybody, I'm just making a statement that I'd appreciate it if you guys would try to moderate yourselves. If there's a problem, I will first edit the offending post and send a PM. If it continues, more action may be necessary, but I really am very lax with using my moderating abilities. General rule of thumb, ask yourself if your post is in good taste and if you can't really say yes then you should probably revise it.
Thanks,
Eric
