Reminder: No profanity, no personal attacks, no violence.
You agreed to this when you signed up for posting privileges.
This means leave off the the cussing and swear words. No f-bombs. No c-words, no sh-words, etc. Not even masked. If in a headline or article you're preparing to post, bleep it out.
Do not tale the Lord's name in vain.
Use common courtesy when posting. Do not post insults or personal attacks against your fellow FReepers. Do not engage in flamewars or feuds. If you find yourself falling into one, disengage immediately and move on. You don't need to have the last word. Do not badger other posters. Do not demand an answer. If someone says stop, stop.
Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don't like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc.
Do not attempt to discover or expose a poster's real life identity.
Do not post threats, threats of violence, death wishes, etc., not even hints of ill will, not even jokingly.
The FBI has no sense of humor.
I hate it when the FBI knocks on my door or serves me a subpoena. Please spare me and maybe yourself from this very unpleasant experience.
Thanks Jim
This rule is enforced very heavily on Qanon threads but ignored on Cold Fusion threads. Capriciousness in action.
Peruse later.
Is “pissed” profane?
No
Bump
IIRC, Baron Von Steuben swore at the troops at Valley Forge in three different languages.
A timely reminder, as FR seems to be experiencing a number of vulgar, profane and classless language and/or memes, from posters old and new.
We can do better than this.
I agree. Sadly, the FBI will likely make up reasons to visit you, so why should you have to put up with those visits more than you absolutely have to?

If that is a real rule then why don’t the mods pull those posts and why do they even ignore them when brought to their attention? When a poster is a constant violator of that rule why isn’t he called out on it and told to stop the habit?
Why does anything go in tag lines, like the F bomb?
Beats the ever lovin’ bird doohickey straight outta me.
I don’t understand, there is a difference and it is OK?
I’ve asked people not to do that. Guess I don’t get any respect anymore.
A freepmail from the mods doesn’t fix it, or even better for general awareness, asking the poster openly on the thread to change his tag because of language?
