AT word rules, what can't we say?

[goshdarnindie]

Ok, now this is not an open plea to say every bad word that you can think of and then tell a mod "I was only helping the guy out".

Its just that I am new around here and I noticed some people avoiding certain words and I can't find any direct reference to it in the help files.

So try, in a mature manner, to help a brother out.

A general guideline: if you can't say it on network television, don't say it here. Our language filter will tell you if you've tried to use a word that is on the forbidden list.

In addition to the usual four-letter Anglo-Saxon vulgarities, there are a few commercial references that are forbidden because we do not want members to post links to certain auction sites.

Also nixed: References in which members boast about posting in a thread before it is locked. This used to waste an immense amount of bandwidth, and became really tedious.

[edit] Thanks. It's nice to know that there is a language filter. As long as there is a way to make sure that I don't post something bad [edit]

There's no list. Just use your judgment and remember that children can read these forums. If you try to post a banned word, your post won't go through until you edit it.

You can't talk about a guy's twigs and berries.

I started a thread a few days ago wanting to know what was acceptable. But the mods canned it.
I feel your pain.

I don't understand the no e-bay rule, please explain

You can't say &quot;engine bay&quot;.

I remember trying to do this once and it was forbidden.
