Who gives a ****.
But seriously, as with the majority of people who blindly click "I Agree" without reading the rules/clauses that bind you upon registration, you have thus missed/ignored the following information...
You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.
Profanity falls directly under
vulgar material.

Everything in moderation. If you occasionally (ie. barely at all.) use d*mn, or the like, then you should be fine.
I think the rule is there for when you run into these people who use f**k as every other word. It's simply foolish. How can you possibly voice your idea when you apparently have a vocabulary of 12 words? You look stupid, and your idea looks stupid.
What English is becoming is simply incredible. I've heard of college students who have written papers using IM grammar.
lol i no no how 2 spk eng!!!!
What is that!? Seriously, IMHO, that has no place anywhere, not even IM.
I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a grammar fanatic.

I agree, I'm not a fan of "teen talk" - It's very annoying.. yet sadly very common..
So if you do have the urge to use slang/profanity, think twice about how it might effect the communities opinion of you and your ideas..
Note#0:
It does occasionally slip into conversations.. that's just life.. we get it.. 
Note#1:
The forum favourites are RTFM and STFW as of 2007, I'm sure it'll change..
Note#2:
Messages entirely in CAPS are discouraged.. and may also be considered evil by many..
Note#3:
As Alboin said, "lol i no no how 2 spk eng!!!!" is also discouraged..
(
Please ignore everything I said, You didn't read it anyway...)

I'm much the same, when it comes to grammar. People only get blocked by me on IM for two reasons: Having a MySpace, and not using correct grammar.
The real limit does come when it's not possible for people to understand you. The whole point of a language is that it aids communication between people, not hinder it. And on a global forum such as this one, we have to use standard (British/American) English, because that's the most common thing there is.

I like this:
Site Blocked
The site
http://www.myspace.com/ is blocked because it is in the category chat
Your local IP has been logged for viewing by the system administrator.
That would be my squid/squidGuard combination doing its job.

Is that from your home network or your company/school? Why would you install a filtering proxy on your home network?

Home, because home is the only place I have at the moment to learn how to use a server and the utilities that come with it (still in high school).
By the way, I built that version of squidGuard from source in Cygwin, I never actually fully comprehended how useful Cygwin was until I actually was able to run a *nix program on Windows
.
Edit: sorry, not "come with it" but "are installable".

It is just sad I live in the central Europe where -> when I sleep, you have a great afternoon.
And I didn't have the chance to write my opinion about this "mynameyay" guy:

I am a young teeneeger myself, but I do not use these fancey-shmancey words (stfu, ... etc.), I do not like too much abbrevations...
From the locked topic:
Who knows who? wrote:Unix is written as a DOS shell.
and Windows was here much before *nix.
OMG LEARN SOME STUFF!
LOL
!!!!
But these sentences like windows was before unix... oh my god, bless me, this is a bad dream
Oh okay, I wont post here from now on
