I will answer a few questions of these questions

1. Google can not see the hidden areas.
2. The rules in the hidden areas are slightly less strict.
3. The teams can decide on the rules they want for their team forum but you should not alienate any current or future team mates.
4. Very light drug talk, cracks/emulator/warez, sexual (no stronger insinuations than a bikini) and bad language (nothing stronger than "ass" and "damn") are OK. But I can see this getting out of hand and if it does then the rules will become much more strict. This is not the place for in depth discussion about any of these topics. If you need talk about them then check google for places that are a better fit for you.

In other words just because you can get away with it does not mean you should. There are always better ways of expressing yourself.

Abbreviations such as WTF, ****, f*ck etc are not acceptable. If the full word is against the rules then so is all forms of the words. I personally find it very insulting to assume that adding a * or half a beep to a word will trick someone into thinking "sh*t" might mean "shot".

5. Anything hateful, example racism, is probably an automatic ban.
6. Pointless and/or immature posts will eventually lead to a ban.
7. Shorthand such as "u no wat i mean" are not accepted. If you do not improve after a warning then you will be banned. IMO this is way worse than the cussing and your parents should be way more concerned about this rule than any of the others.
8. Tenser is correct the rules are vague and we are relying on you to use common sense. Immature people do things just because they can. Immature people are annoying. Annoying people are eventually banned.

I would like to hear the answer to Tenser's question. Do you want explicit rules? Example "You can do this" "You can not do that". DO you want less or more strict rules? If you do not want to answer publicly you can PM me. I will start an official poll and thread for this topic next week.

The rule is keep it PG-13. When I made that rule I did not know exactly what that meant. As time goes by I am realizing that no one really knows what that means.

Fart and turd were not on Carlin's original list. He added them to an updated version of the skit several years later. Piss was on the original. And the point of the skit was words that under no circumstances could be said on TV. Example ass is another name for jackass and Dick is a nickname for Richard or a detective and so could be said given the proper context. So even though both might be worse than fart and piss they were not added.
