Welp, it happens about once every 60 to 90 days....somebody tries a cute workaround for the ban on profanity, and is on a vacation.

The violation in question was an acronym containing a well-recognized vulgarity.

Just don't do it.

No profanity.
No cute symbols or transposition of syllables to get around the profanity filters.
No acronyms.
If you feel the need to try a workaround, maybe you shouldn't use the word / phrase / workaround at all.
If you wouldn't use the language when speaking to a Sunday School class of 10-year-olds, don't use it on TideFans.

How hard is this?

I don't like being the schoolmarm, and you would think reminders like this would be unnecessary. But they're apparently not.

If you can't post without violating TF rules, there are plenty of other boards out there that will welcome you.

Go.

There’s a poster with 11 years and 2,500 or so posts serving a 30-day suspension for getting cute with acronyms.

Last night was disappointing. That doesn’t earn a pass on profanity. To my mind, acronyms are worse than the word itself because it shows the poster knew the word would be prohibited, and tried a cute workaround.

Choose your words carefully, or go to a board that doesn’t care. There are lots of them.
