    How can you report someone for swearing that did not swear?

    Did Kirri actually swear NO he/she did not :(

    The heavy handed policing of this forum returns again!!

    Well I didn't read it in my head as F.F. S. I read it as the words the letters stand for and that's what Glad will have done. She has a right to object.

    There were plenty more volunteers before if it's such a difficult thing to do.

    People aren't allowed to disagree at this when it's happened quite a bit before? Maybe take a break yourself if it's causing distress...

    Cheers for the report, more waste of time.

    Disagree with what, competitions being moved to game over as the guide says they maybe?

    the MSE swear filter would not have allowed the posting of the full words so a way of circumventing it was used, doing this is against MSE rules, the rules that everyone agrees to when they register to post on the forum

    the intention was there and most people reading would have known exactly what the 3 letters referred to

    My question still stands...Did Kirri actually swear?

    And the answer is still NO he/she did not

    Three initials are not a swear word, I have just asked people on a forum I run and not one of them said it was swearing!

    The problem on here is the helping hands think they are right about everything and don't like being challenged and if we disagree or question them we are reported.

    Thanks for that, I don't give one iota either. :D

    (Will lilias be reported for typing the same 3 initials?)

    did anyone on the forum you run give an alternative meaning for the 3 letters in question? bearing in mind the context it was used in

    I have teenage kids I know full well what it means the same as most people in here will know what it meant, my point is still the same Kirri did not say the word he/she typed 3 initials there was no swearing/abusive language.

    If you find that offensive then I want everyone who types OMG reported because I find that offensive, all I am saying is what you have reported him/her for you may not be offensive to others, let members report him/her so we don't know, but you reporting him/her after he/she had a dig at you just looks like revenge.
