Welcome to vvon

I have edited the swear filters, and added swear words. Not all of them have been added, but I will be adding common ones as I go from now on.

I have also removed vvoc from the swear filter, so members can now just type "vvoc" and it will be displayed. It has been in the swear filter for a while now, and given that I have absolutely no issue with vvoc whatsoever, I decided it should be removed.

Its my hope that these simple changes will make the forum slightly more welcoming to new members. Generally speaking the forum is very clean anyway, but I hope that cutting all (iregular) swearing on the forum (myself included!) will help increase our traffic rankings on search engines further.

As always, if you feel certain words (or even words used to circumvent the filter) should be added, your all welcome to PM me and I'll add it immediately.

think the say what you want feel was good at the start but weve grown up now (sort off)
so the filter will be good

I did consider writing every swear word I can think of in this post just to see what ones we can say now- but I decided against it lol.

TBH I think this is a great idea, and agree- it will make the forums more welcoming to many.

They're now added as well.

As well as quite a few words often used to avoid the swear filters themselves.

The forum rules have now also been updated (post to follow shortly), and swearing is now banned.
