I thought I would tidy up all the board rules, important messages, contact details into one thread.

You can contact me - Richard Lowther at tackler 7 at yahoo dot com. (Please ensure you omit any spaces and replace at with @) There are rules to using this board. Please abide by them at all times. If you don't like them, please do not post. Use of this message board implies your acceptance of the following terms and conditions of use - · You will not post any messages likely to cause offence. (Don't be abusive. Criticism is fine, abuse isn't. Don't say things about others that you wouldn't like saying about you. Do not try and 'out' the identity of any poster. There are also the 'in jokes' or what I call the 'nudge' which are comments made in jest by the poster and may be totally innocent comments that amongst friends would generate a laugh and quickly be forgotten about. However on message boards, they can be clearly misinterpretated and cause offence. I have probably had more complaints about this type of post, then any other. So just think about what you are saying and how you say it. If in doubt, don't post it.) · You will not post any messages likely to cause offence. (Don't be abusive. Criticism is fine, abuse isn't.

Although I understand the desire to dissuade swearing on this forum, can't something be done so we can see the name of Mowden's latest signing without it being changed to incorporate a type of small fruit?
The forum rules forbid the use of swear words, so as everyone has agreed to obey them, is a 'swear filter' which changes common surnames really necessary? https://www.mowdenpark.com/news/peaHuckleberry-signs-for-mowden-park-2865629.html |

No, it's not necessary.
A simple warning/ ban system would suffice, but Richard would probably argue that as it's not moderated in real time, that woulb be difficult and potentially leave obscenities hanging for unacceptable lengths of time, which is somewhat understandable. However, if a reporting system for offenders was encouraged, this should overcome most issues. The daft thing though, as alluded to elsewhere, is the banning of words/names that merely contain strings that include such things as descriptors for male hens and so on. Clearly ridiculous, and deisrespectful to many who play and have played the game (even a particular former Cov and Leicester hooker - although I'm inclined to allow that one 😉). A certain club in the east of the country gets a very bad deal too - and let's face it, it's probably a good job that many villages around Dorset etc don't have NL rugby teams... |

You could always circumvent the filters by using an accented letter; ù in place of u, ô in place of o, etc.
