[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2141081, member: 41816"] Actually Ian, the mod team occupy a small corner of the universe called the diabetes.co.uk forum. It is a place which is governed by a set of forum rules. These rules apply to every single person who signs up to the forum. Some members find those rules restrictive, but if they wish to continue to post on the forum then they are required to comply, or face moderation. As for whether a ‘thinly veiled’ expletive is an expletive or not... If a word is identifiable, it has exactly the same capacity to offend. Using ‘humorous’ rhyming slang, or the replacing of the odd letter with a ‘witty’ exclamation mark or two, doesn’t work around here. Offensive words break the forum rules and are subject to moderation. It is what we all signed up for. There is, of course, a very simple way to avoid both causing offence and being offended at being moderated - simply choose words that won’t offend - and if anyone thinks they need to ‘veil’ what they are saying, then they would be best just choosing another word.
