I have a couple questions about this forum

I have no idea where to post this xD but whatever!
What kind of language am I allowed to use? Like am I going to get banned for using the word "crap"?
I've scanned around for the general guidlines but I can't find them... Can anyone fill me in?

Question Re: I have a couple questions about this forum

Ahhh... I see it now...
After reading it though, I still have one question that remains... Am I allowed to say the following:
crap, pissed, freaking.

Or are they considered rude and/or offensive language?

That's pretty much the worse I'd ever say.
If I'm not I'd appriciate it if you'd tell me right away instead of banning me Thanks for your help Mr. Moderater!

Re: I have a couple questions about this forum

Well, since this is plain stupid I'll just respond with a few quotes from the rules:

2. Annoyed our members so much that the moderators decided to ban you

5. Trolling - generally being rude and annoying, and contributing very little

Re: I have a couple questions about this forum

In other words, no you will not be banned for using those words in a regular sense. However, if enough people complain about the use of language in your post, you will be reprimanded (banned for a short time being a possibility) or eventually permanently banned.
Several prominent members have used even worse language, and occasionally I have asked them to edit their posts (and no I am not a mod) for it, though this is a very rare thing.

My suggestion would be to do your best to avoid any use of vulgar language.
