[Georgina]

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. This is not only humorous, but legal actions can be taken against you. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also inappropriate to this forum.

Note that it is impossible for us to confirm the validity of posts on this forum. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages and are not responsible for their content. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information presented. The messages express the views of the author, not necessarily the views of this forum. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator of this forum immediately. We have the rights to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy goes for member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this forum, and any related websites to this forum. We at this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any information we have about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any information posted by you.

You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another member, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another member's account to post messages or browse this forum.

After you register and log into this forum, you can fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information we deem inaccurate or vulgar will be removed.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

You are solely responsible for any and all attachments that you post to this forum. You may not post files to this forum which contain copyrighted material that you do not have permission from the author to post.

You also agree to the entire ProBoards.com Terms of Service.

Georgina, check my posts on the beer 99p a pint thread please and tell me who is censoring the post and why? Thanks

[Georgina]

I wasn't aware that anyone was censoring, Joe. My apologies. I'll look into the settings and see what's up. To the best of my knowledge we don't have any language censors on this board. But let me look.

Edited to add: it turns out this board has a "Censored Word" section in which it contains a list of naughty words and what they should automatically print as rather than the questionable word. It came with the board, and I can modify it, and I shall likely later this evening.

Can I assume that the beer you're talking about has some sort of rooster related word in the name?

Again, sorry. We're all learning.

[joethree56]

Well As I can't write the word (although I will once again try 'Wetherspoon' ) i can only say that for reasons beyond my comprehension the latter half of the word rendered as 'thingy' should be 'spoon'.

[joethree56]

why is the thing you stir you tea with a banned word here?? Spoon

[joethree56]

spoor sport sporan spoon

[Georgina]

sthingy?

Edited to add: That's hilarious! I wonder if fork and knife are okay if their companion is not.

Edited to further add: Oh, I get it. The "s" in the word is okay, but the next four letters are a naughty word in some circles. Let me get that one right now.

Edited to try again: spoon

Final edit: Success! ;D

You and ProBoards are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except for the ProBoards Parties and the Indemnified Parties as and to the extent set forth in Sections 15, 19, 23 and 25(e), and ProBoards' licensors and suppliers as and to the extent expressly set forth in Section 21, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third-party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to ProBoards and ProBoards' licensors and suppliers, and would therefore entitle ProBoards or ProBoards' licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement.
