no freedom of speech????????

The problem us mods have there is we have children who use this site too and its not fair to be swapping them with cuss words. I am also sure that anyone who enjoys or writes poetry can express themselves well enough without needing swear words.

swamping* lol

yeah i gotcha LOL, I personally do not delete any posts unless they r overly offensive. Even my own posts are not always tame!

If the posts were not offensive but in the wrong forum, then it must have been moved to 'Other' forum or something else which was more appropriate for it. Did you check every forum for it?

i wouldnt delete your posts unless you were using really graphic language!

It poses a conundrum, I mean writing poetry is an emotional artform, and if you are in an swearing artistic mood. Then you should express it.

After all many poets in here do it for themselves and their audience, not for kids...

But I guess that's what the explicit section is for.

But you don't own this website, and when you joined, you agreed to follow the instructions. If you want freedom of speech... well, you have it to an extent.
