    Can I ask why you block or delete swearing from forum posts yet share and link to the forum Twitter posts that retweeted a use of probably the most extreme swear word?

    I'm happy either way but as a forum user who has had posts removed in the past a bit of consistency in the thought process would be nice

    I heard that London Bantam showed his willy to Claire Gropewood from class B during lunchbreak. It was when they were round the back of the craft block having a fag with Cory Dunn-Roaming, and Issac Hunt.

    I think in general it's pretty nice on here compared to some other forums. I had to laugh at my dad - he's a Leeds fan (that's a reason to laugh in its own right), when he said he'd joined a Leeds forum, but then left because all it contained was a load of people all bickering at each other and calling each other c***s. I did ask him what did he expect, with the average Leeds fan base being mostly inbred.

    We should be allowed to swear and have banter.

    You make a good point and we do need to be consistent on the site. The problem as you suggest is linking to other social media without an easy method of removing content which would otherwise be blocked on here. We'll look into it and see what can be done to make it more consistent.

    I don't recall any restriction on banter per se on here so long as it isn't offensive or abusive or designed simply to wind somebody up.

    Have a look here if you wish to remind yourself ...

    It wasn't just the link though Dennis, it's been retweeted first so it wasn't just a content blocking issue.

    Whoever is running the Twitter page needs to either align it to the forum completely or have a chat amongst yourselves and decide to relax the forum rules to suit.

    It's context though. You largely ban swearing on a forum for the simple fact that it's often used in 'inappropriate' ways that are designed to antagonise. It's there to help the mods basically. The software can't understand context so it just blocks everything

    The language on TCA is filth. The modding is nothing short of embarrassing. The admin over there should hang their heads in shame.

    It's consistently filthy though and the modding is consistently embarrassing. It's at least got that going for it.

    You have your own forum for that where every other word is swearing

    Thanks but I'm not sure you've understood the point.
