    Little block thingies.

    I have been wondering what those squares mean under one's name. Right now I think I have gold, and others have silver. Then Andy and Neil are like 6 star generals.

    Plus when I am checking out my stats, I have a star over my square. What does all this mean?

    And what's the exclamation point box next to the tick/cross box all about? I didn't wanna push it till I knew what it was about, I've seen enough episodes of The Simpson's to know pushing buttons willy nilly causes nuclear meltdowns!

    - Report bad post button. if you see a particullar post that's breaking the rules, is offensive or you think needs attention, you can press this button next to the appropriate post and it alerts the staff to it.

    - Reputation button, you can press this to give reputation points for the particullar post.

    / - Offline/Online indicators, these tell you whether that author of the post is online or offline at the moment.

    anything else?

    Nope, that explains it pretty well I'd say. Oh yeh, swearing - just to clairfy, is that flat out "not cool" or is a bit of swearing okay? Not aimed at people, just general.

    As anyone from GD who knows me...knows...I can be quite a swearer, but I try to keep myself clean and not go overboard.

    its mostly ok, minor swear words like damn and ass are fine. more serious swear words are automatically censored by the forums.

    So "sh.." and "fu.." for sure then, I always self-censor the "big C", but even "bas...." and "...hole"? I'm afraid to test it as the thought police might come after me or something, haha.

    only four words are censored, and ironically their all 4 letter words.

    It seems like then the cool new way to swear on the boards is to say fupishcu...a combination of the swears you cant say.

    FUPISHCU YOU ALL!!!

    This is a test of the Emergency Profanity System. This is only a test:

    ****ake <--- this is what the filter does to the poor S H I T A K E mushroom.

    Based on what I just did, and using another obvious method, the filter is easy to get around.
