You just weren't capable of spelling sentence! We expect a reasonable level of grammar and spelling on here. Sorry if that annoys you but it's just how it is

Chris, in the Forum & Posting Guidelines, wrote:Please read and respect:

No 'txt speak' - please use proper English


'proper English' includes grammar. Ignoring that, however, you were asked by the site admin to stop doing it.

I'm not comfortable with a 12 year old reading these boards and being able to switch off the swear filter.

Either Harris is going to have to seriously crack down on posters and set some rules for mods or there should be an age restriction.

I might be wrong, but I think the age limits for these forums is automatically 13?

If not, it still says on the main forum page that there might be swearing in Ramble. That implies that there isn't swearing else where. Most of us pay attention to that rule, I think. Plus, seriously - i'd imagine that most 12 year olds have heard some naughty words by that stage in their lives.

Actually, that's only on American, commercial sites; it's the COPPA (Child's online privacy protection act, I think) and it's an American law that require parental consent for sites to accept information from children (under 13 years old), which includes email addresses and other essential information that is generally required to sign up to forums. However, as this site is non-profit and British it doesn't fall under that law. It's actually an extremely stupid law, because it's not exactly difficult for a child to just lie, and it's nigh on impossible for sites to correctly determine a persons age.

Some may, but either way, it's not turned on at this site. I don't actually think it's enabled by default in phpBB, it's not enabled on my test copy, and I don't remember disabling it.

So has anyone seen Sarah? (the new girl who Matt is in love with?) It sounds like everyone thinks she's hot. Who can produce the first picture?

It might be from a bit of a distance though so don't expect to be able to actually see her face

Most Websites that ask for an age will not let you on if you say you are under 18 ( or on the odd occation 13) But its easy to just lie ( or if you have said you are under the age you can just refresh the page)
