We're not allowed to use swear words because this is a "family site" and therefore have to keep the language clean. I have no issue with that at all, it's a good move IMO.

Could we please have some consistency though!? The use of the word 'tt' in the Clio article strikes me as hypocritical!

Odd article.

Poor editorial control, I think. Can't have one rule for the forums and another for posted journalism if it is a "family site".

But then we have posters with names that evade the filter as well, so it's probably lethargy.
