Unfortunately in life today swearing is all to common, as a total lack of respect for anyone. It is hardly a surprise when they bring it on-line, in fact it is possibly worse, the so called anonymity of not being face to face seems to drive people further.

Whilst it isn’t encouraged or condoned, there is only so much that can be done, the use of the report to moderator link.

The few forum rules that we have don’t appear to be enough, main problem is the most don’t read them, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93015.msg740725#msg740725 and the first rule of ‘Follow the usual netiquette.’ How many know it or bother to actually use the google link or visit and of the netiquette the links in the search. But many of these netiquette links don’t even mention swearing specifically.
