Okay so
where I live the c bomb is a cultural gem that has grown due to our larrikin nature and laid back attitude into another meaning of the word. A meaning that encourages mateship and bants. I petition that people from other countries take us less seriously and get less offended by the word. Over here it's not as offensive as it is elsewhere. Everybody gets annoyed when we talk like how we've always talked. It's un Australian. VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!

Aye let me just say this XD I know to us it just means being good mates with someone, but unfortunately every room has members from all around the world, so it's tough in itself to change their behaviour and the way they feel. In all honesty, it would just be more efficient to stop the usage in main🙊 But I tell my users that they can use those kinds of phrases in PMs, as long as both sides are comfortable with it so it won't cause any problems~

Similar case with the n word aswell~ we can't exactly tell which users are of the race that are allowed to say it, so all users should be following the same rules to refrain from saying those slurs..as they would offend some ******** in the room :/

Much love and stay chill!❤🇦🇺
 
Sure its an adjective to us, but like in any situation its down to context.
I've always gone by if I wouldn't say it in a job interview, I don't say it on main.
However I'm also not a Westie Bogan.

revolutions are hard, lots of people die and in at least one case lots of tea is wasted.

this word fight isnt the one you want to be picking. it should be something meaningful, like the stricter enforcement (any enforcement) of the rules against pedophiles and those that prey on younger users , those that find/share/post others info in main chat, or those that are racist, homophobic, misogynistic towards others.

100% agree with your sentiments!
However this was meant to be a tongue in cheek post to encourage a bit of friendly banter between Aussies and everyone else, and encourage people to not take some words so seriously.
Unfortunately I think most people on here agree about the issue with predators and vile behaviour, but we've all made countless suggestions and comments for YEARS and nothing gets done. I could suggest that we need an admin for gc, and that mods put more effort into stopping individual cases of this, or I could bang my head against a brick wall. I think the brick wall might be more productive.

well i can tell you this. SC&F forum was made & intended for those with real SC&F and when someone brought something up something was done about it ( its why game posts dont count toward your posting total, its why everything else is no longer test forum, its why we have a game forum, its why we have a boys chat) . then as the years passed people started using this forum for "tongue in cheek posts" and stuff stopped getting done, because the posts were no longer serious. and along the way the care stopped being there to take things serious. so now we continue to have bigger problems and no one to care to fix it.
 
When people repeatedly bring up issues, and the issues are ignored, people move on to other places. 🙂
 
Hello, my account name is Jacob01. Every time I login to the adult chat now I get banned for ua. On this site, admins very freely use bans and claim an ua was used. A couple days ago I posted a picture of Megan Rain and got banned for ua. Each time I log back into the site, the mod refuses to tell me what picture I was banned for. My profile even states and has stated that I can verify all my pictures. Almost any picture I post now I get a 2-hour ban for. Literally any picture that I have posted I can verify that it was not a ua picture. Also, why is posting a ua picture only a 2-hour ban? That is an illegal offense so it shouldn’t be taken so lightly. I would guess it’s because mods know that they may be wrong so they ban with an “I think” mindset.
