We have some awesome guys moderating this forum and they do a great job - if you think it's not moderated you'd be very surprised. I want the forum to be a great place for young people - personal attacks or swearing aren't what I want to see, but this isn't the Disney website either and I can't guarantee that kids won't see things that are mild in comparison to the stuff they hear at school
Seriously though. There are bigger problems than mild or more than mild swearing that are priorities sometimes. I deleted someones comments (not their post, just the offensive bit) in this very thread earlier today - perhaps I should have PM'd them and asked them to post with respect and inteligence but I hope for the most part people use their head and think or will try to in future.
No matter what someone at another forum has done or said, you can express yourself better without resorting to calling them harsh names - it sorta breaks down the power of what you were trying to say if you can't say it with at least a small degree of respect.
I don't have time or energy to read other R/C forums much these days but I know I used to spend many hours on Racechat and whilst I didn't personally agree with some of the choices made over there I still respect it for all the information and knowlege it's given me and other racers in the past.
