In the Terms of Use, "Excessive profanity" is listed as prohibited content. But, it's rather vague, so I'd just like to know what exactly qualifies as "Excessive profanity" and what's the punishment for it? I don't want my board being deleted because I don't have a filter on it. :blink: |

Profanity is language and sexually based things, aka pics, talkin nubbish, ect (can't think of the word). It's both, not just language. |

Well, there's never any porn on my board, so I'm just concerned with swearing. |

I think that is determined by your membership. What is acceptable in one community is offensive in another. I believe you would recieve a warning before any action was taken. |

I take it you have never had a SpamBot problem on your board. I have had a few post links to porn. One actually went around just plain swearing. I take interest in deleting something annoying like that. |

Anything that would make a sentence on a word filtered board look like this "You're ****** ******* ******** and ********* *********!!!!" Sorta Definition a la wiki:
Basically... when people pepper their sentences with swear words, derogative terms, racism, blasphemy, homophobia... Excess use of vulgar language, anything mean, crass and plain bad. |

For some reason, they seem to stay away from my board. Must be the members. >_> |

Actually, I have one board that I created in 2005, It has never had a SpamBot ever come to it, My other board which I created two months ago has had a few on it. My first board has had annoying humans spamming it up before, but no bots. I just deleted a bot on my second board a few days ago for constant swearing (I could tell it was either a bot since they posted the same topics in only three of my 15 forums I have) |

I think it's mostly just boards with their independent domains. I get them regularly now, some jackass put up my link on the "ZOMG LETZ SPAM HIM" list, it's rather annoying lol. Email validation stopped working, they got around it, so I'm stuck with administrative validation -.-. |

Admin Validation is the way to do it, But I have had a few spambots get past it, don't ask why or how... I just don't know.

^Uhhh, that's password screw-up's and h4x0r3 on your account, orrrrrrrr that's some bad coding in IF's boards, but I doubt that. Anyways, I've yet to see a bot post profanity lol. |
