Answer the question and stop talking in riddles. Define foul language as I'm sure your idea of foul language will differ from me.

More than wondering how many Youngsters may or may not be here - the Manufacturers won't want to send opportunities our way if we're cursing and blowing our way through posts. It reflects badly on GM so Titleist, Ping etc may feel they don't want to be involved with a bunch of vernacular using Peasents......
There are plenty of ways to say something without reverting to "F"'s.

No,Craw has a good point,people use swear words all the time on here and get away with it,so maybe most mods do not find it "foul",maybe you don't get it? Seriously Stevie,I have nothing against you,or any posting in the for sale section without pics,but your last post aimed at me is just plain rude!

Such a shame Smiffy, but if you've lost interest for the game then I don't blame you. Life's too short to continue with things that don't make you happy. I just hope you get the bug back after a break when the sun is shining and the fishing season is over 
I'd also like to add my thanks for all the organising you've done for the many forum meets I've been on.

As far as the rules go, that rule has always been there as far as I know, but it's only in the last month or so that the moderators have begun to enforce it.
Previously a little grace was given to sellers to get pics added in a reasonable time, with increasing prodding if they didn't.
I thought it worked well, but if the rule is there it should be enforced. I'd rather see the rule changed to go back to how it unofficially used to be.
With regards to the language, I'd imagine a very small percentage on here would be offended by the odd naughty word, but again there are rules in place so they should be adhered to. Especially since the forum and all the opportunities that go with it are provided free by GM.
Their bat and ball, their rules. I would imagine they wouldn't want to be represented on here by any language that they wouldn't be prepared to put in print.
We all want more youngsters to get into the game. In this day and age the ones that do will no doubt search for information on the internet and a lot of them will be directed here. I wouldn't write anything on here that i wouldn't want my 9 year old daughter to read. Not because she will, but because someone's young son or daughter will.

I agree also, I received 2 warnings on here for for foul language whih were pettiness IMO.
I've seen posts by various posters trying to get a rise form Scottish guys which border on racism which never get a mention or a warning.
And before some of you jump on it I'm not having a dig its and observation

As well as a few young kids, there are a lot of female posters on here too and personally, I find abusive language on here unacceptable.
Rules are rules whether you think they are right or wrong. They should be applied to every single member equally and without exception. I'm pretty sure I had to tick a box agreeing to the T&C's when I signed up on this forum.

Fair play chief! If the mods really want no swear words then they should enforce this policy 24/7,the forum would be a poorer place if they do however! Maybe a new forum like out of bounds but allowing a few more f bombs might help? ;-)

Report it if it offends. Report it if it is aggressive or threatening. Report it if it breaks one or more of the rules.
If you are aware of the rules and have reported others in the past, dont come crying when you get reported for not adhereing to them yourself.

Have I wandered onto the HDID forum by mistake?

Exactly the reason this thread is here - the Mods can't be here 24/7 - I assume they have lives too......maybe..
In the same way Sarcasm is seen as the lowest form of wit, so swearing is the lowest form of communication.

Re the forum rules is this not just the "jeans in the clubhouse" argument in a different guide?
I.e. it's your choice to sign up and you agree to the rules when you do so?.
