Does this mean we can't use the f word again or is it a context specific rule?

We very very very very much do not wish to overly limit speech. However, the details of the various freedoms not typically offered in other forums are still being reviewed by Legal. As such, we will just tread carefully for now and my official stance is that in most cases overly vulgar language only serves to lessen your position, not strengthen it.

nice touch jorb! You've given this character a pseudo-business orientation that hopefully fools people into thinking his is credible.

It's not. But we couldn't resist when the name was suggested.

oh, jorb presents us with one of the flaws of our character. He is childish and has no self-restraint. This could have major plot ramification further along in the story.

It's a great name. It made me laugh hard when I saw it. I'd love to see TotallyMoo comment on it tho. :lol:
