On a Pokémon board, but has very little to do with Pokémon:

So Serebii gets mad and tries to lay the smack down on his forum.

People get mad, especially about the second rule:
-Censor Bypassing Will Now Result In A 3 Day Ban With The Amount Increasing For Repeated Occurences. We Have Kids Here For Christ's Sake

OMG! Kids! On a Pokémon board! Who'd have thunk it! Only not! Because most of the posters are teenagers!

He also refuses to say WHICH words are verboten, because he's particularly fond of saying 'arse'. Thirty-four pages later he closes the thread, telling people that intelligent people don't need to swear. *cough*.

People PM him in a flood (in his PM to me, he told me "Bite me". Is that more mature than swearing?), which causes him to open a second thread wherin he tells us that the three day ban will be gone in a month or less.

TF?!?!

You may not like it but each dya I come home to complaints and I just wanna meet half way with you guys, yer welcome to swear...just censor it please.

...?

So he finally gives up a list of words:

Just basic Swears

F*ck
Sh*t
B*tch
C*nt
C*ck
*ss (Thats more tolerated than the others though)

And the big ones like that

This may be a bad decision and I may have lost good people with it but its necessary and I hope in time those of you who trust me can see that :/


Those "good people" he mentions? People he flamed to no end because he would act like a right moron to them. See, not long ago, he instituted a ruling about 'no flaming the n00bs'--which meant 'no saying anything to n00bs that could be even remotely construed as a flame including correcting their spelling or grammar'. Which would be a wank in and of itself, really.
