And yet several posts in this thread alone, containing obscene and offensive references to sexual acts, plus a good few examples of circumventing the swear filter, remain in place?
I'm confused.
The 'obscene and offensive' references to which you refer relate to a long-standing forum joke which first appeared in the Tigers fanzine many years ago and which gave rise to a fictitious character appearing first on the 'Zine's website and then on here. It's fair to say the phenomenon (and the joke) has waned in recent times, but it's still referenced on occasion, as is the case in this thread.
However, as the whole thing originated from an article in a well known newspaper - one which quoted all of the words you seem to suddenly find offensive and obscene - it would seem that you expect this forum to maintain significantly higher standards than are deemed good enough for our national press.
With that in mind, I'd say your definition of obscene and offensive seems to be a little out of kilter with that of the rest of society. Frankly, I'm amazed that such a delicate little flower as yourself remains on the forum long enough to type the post you made without swooning at the sheer depravity you're exposed to. I'd advise you to return immediately to the Wakefield forum where everyone obviously talks exclusively about rainbows, unicorns and princesses.
Have a nice day.
