Umm... no. I am hardly gratuitous in my use of language but the occasional expletive is entirely appropriate and called for given the subject matter we are dealing with.

Seeing how political topics inevitably gets heated, I have created the Politics subforum for explicitly discussing real world topics. Rules regarding flaming and language are relaxed, HOWEVER any racial, ethnic, homophobic, sexist, etc. slurs and epithets are still considered improper and grounds for moderation. The Management takes no responsibility for the views espoused in this forum and any arguments that may result.

Welcome to the Forum Rules! As your Forum God - err, I mean Moderator - it's my job to keep some semblance of order here on Mr. Weber's forums. So I need you to help me do as little work as possible. =)

Many of these rules are common sense, but it's probably good to have it out in the open so people know what I am looking for when I review reported posts. So without further ado:

1. General

Language
- While Mr. Weber writes wonderful fiction for adults, his work has been read by a wide age range of people. I expect people to keep the language used on the forums PG-13 (or whatever the equivalent is in your country). In other words, cursing is allowed if you think it is appropriate; gratuitous/excessive cursing is not.
- It is NEVER appropriate to use racial or sexual slurs, offensive derogatory terms, etc.

Turn of events???

In case you hadn't noticed, occasional cursing isn't even against the forum rules *outside* the politics forum, let alone inside it. And the use of the occasional expletive is hardly some kind of new development.

So spare us the sudden development of outrage and concern.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that Trump does no baiting.

He speaks purely what is on his mind.
