There has been a gradual but noticeable increase in the amount of swearing heard on the Ventrilo server we use for racing. This goes against the rules of this community.

QuoteLanguage & Behaviour
Members should maintain a professional level of conduct at all times. Please keep your language and behaviour in the forums, on the servers and on the TeamSpeak/Ventrilo servers at that same level.

We are all mature enough to understand that the odd expletive will inevitably get transmitted but there are limits and some restraint needs to be exercised particularly when frustration/disappointment gets the better of you. So if this happens to you - go ahead and let rip ... just don't press 'transmit'. Also, remember that not all members are listening to your cursing via headphones. There may well be young family members within earshot of speakers. In addition, we can no longer claim it's 'after the watershed'. We now have a bunch of regular Venters from across the pond who we know often have young family members around.

So, please, think before you  :ranting2:

Is there a 'hands up' smiley? Put me down for one. :sad: I'm probably--or even definitely-- the worst offender. :blush2:

the odd word is im sure tolerated but not accepted by most ppl but even on dmw there tends to be a bit more swearing now and again,
 
ive been guilty as im sure we all are now and again, but mrs stella, miss fosters and definatly mrs whiskey seem to cause ppl to do it more often than not.
 
try moving the transmit button to an awkward key like page up when youve had a tipple so to stop the venting in the air.


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.
