Grass – stop winding me up!!!! I suspect you are only too aware that swearing is rare and has always been banned and that the people I’m after are the ones who entitle a thread ‘How did that get [expletive] beat’ and not the ones who have the tendency to throw in a mild profanity while discussing Sartre.
Jilly – Sorry about the scrolling. we’re onto it.
Feck off muppit
On a serious note, you don’t want to go down the road of betfair forum…. i.e… making up swear words or putting ‘*’ in them.Everyone knows what is meant.Best to let adults be adults imo, you fecking t*sser
Do you see?
If people aren’t allowed to swear they will try to find ways around it-If they are allowed to swear then the majority won’t bother.Those that do are w
nkers,imo I assumed it was just me that thought things were ‘changing’ on here and put it down to some form of internet snobbery on my part.
Me too Alderbrook.
I’d always preferred the ‘anti-Betfairian uncouthness’ on TRF. However, after the recent TRF ‘change’, standards seemed to have been slipping.
Good work Corm! Let the chavs stay where the ‘smart minds’ play.
Nice avatar jilly,
I’d suggest the forum’s problems were sorted out as soon as possible instead of worrying about swearing, it’s been ages now and things ought to be sorted now, I even seen someone logged on today with admin status (username in orange) and I’ve never even heard of them and they’ve never posted either, what’s going on?
I’m really beginning to dislike this forum more everyday, I want the old one back!
What are the obvious reasons, cormack? I am actually offended by people who do not swear. No kidding.
Understood Corm.
To be fair, I agree that we don’t want swear words in a Thread title. I’m certainly not advocating a free-for-all – merely a little common-sense.
Bum. Tit. Arse.
I don’t see the need for swearing on a horseracing website. To me, it’s a bit like betting in a 29 runner, 5 furlong handicap – totally pointless and unnecessary. A similar restraint must be shown.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Jim – we’re getting through the problems. Please bear with us if you can. The forum is free and is run by me in my own spare/free time, which is limited at the moment, so things are taking a bit longer than I’d hope for in a perfect world. I know it’s frustrating but we’ll get there.
Regarding the ‘unknown’ person with Admin status. That will have been one of the people helping me with the technical side of things. They are working through the issues.David
Hopefully I can’t be banned for messages posted before this ban came into force, what with me being a fould mouthed %*$£*!%.
Is t**ser considered a swear word over there?
I only ask because they bleeped it out of an episode of Only Fools And Horses the other night.

Is "Pricewise" allowed?
a tosser, kingston town, is one who tosses. the captain of a cricket team perhaps, or a pancake chef. hope this helps
Thank you Zorro –
but why did they bleep it out on the tv here? They have strangeeeeeeeeeeeee ideas sometimes…… I agree. Expletives are fair enough on the Betfair forum. Many of the posts are immediate reactions to races where large amounts of money have been won and lost, emotions swinging between rapture and despair, and frustration at bad rides and tactical races, etc are augmented by this relentless rush. You couldn’t ask people at a racetrack not to swear.
Expletives do seem a bit unnecessary on here, when the posts tend to be more considered and issue-led. You wouldn’t expect to see swearing in an RP’s journalist’s column.
nkers,imo
