No I wouldn't use swear words in a job interview either, but this forum isn't a job interview. It's mostly a group of truck drivers & friends talking to each other using the words that they would normally use if they were talking to each other in the presence of others, like in a restaurant. I used this example on purpose, because we have all heard swearing coming from a table near us. Most words really don't upset us weather the children are with us or not.But there are some words that we really don't need to listen to. So yes I agree a filter is needed, just adjusted a little. Actually I don't think my post regarding "vulgar" is off point, as you used it in your reply to me. I was just showing that there are many kinds of vulgar things posted every day that are not censored & they are not posts that would improve the image of the trucking industry. But I & many others still enjoy reading them. This is shown by the reply count to the posts & the viewing count to the post also.
Any way at this point I just want to state that...I really don't want this to come off as an argument, it's just a disagreement.

I guess you do not know about the many young people and family members that get on here.

If you cannot tell by now, there is no hope for you.
If I was in a restaurant and did not like the language in front of my family, I would say something.
Seems to me there is a lack of maturity on this by some people.
I do not see the need to make juvenile comments with the language and the nice little # that some like to leave.
I prefer to deal with intelligent mature people. Apparently, you are not interested in that.
Best to you. -

As I said earlier, opinion on the vulgarity of specific words varies between individuals, and lacking the presence or the need for a panel of experts to consult on the issue, my own 'job interview' test will continue to function as the informal authority. Frankly, I feel that writing multiple posts to discuss the removal of 1 or 2 words from the word filter is exceptionally pedantic, and I think we should simply agree to disagree on this matter.
I'm always glad to discuss forum policy with those that need clarification, but more than enough time has been spent on discussion for an issue as trivial as the word filter.bullhaulerswife, Pur48Ted, Lilbit and 1 other person Thank this.
