How much freedom of speech do you allow on your forum?
Lol we allow our members to speak their mind, but if they're going to say something rude, they better say it diplomatically. I mean, you can't out someone because they have a different opinion from yourself, or they are saying something you dont like http://admincommunity.com/forum/publ...>/confused.gif
I allowed most words to be said, but preffered no bad words pointed at anybody.
The owner of this forum is very lenient except he doesn't allow a lot of swearing.
My forum is a laid back type of place. I won't allow people to directly insult me, staff, the forum or other members just out of the blue. That sort of stuff should be kept private.
I mostly enforce the common sense rule.
we allow swearing on our site aslong as its in moderation and not aimed at any other members in any way,
plus we also have a non moderated section where apart from the forum rules which must be abided by members are free to post what they want.
As long it's not rude, I'm allowing it.

What do you define as rude though?
I say about 95% on my forum. Occasionally saying words like "shit" and "fuck" might be acceptable as long as it's not excessive. I also allow most levels of criticism, unless it's ridiculously childish.
I do disallow spam, though, so I can't be 100% free http://admincommunity.com/forum/publ...R#>/tongue.gif.
I don't think there is such thing as freedom of speech but so long as users follow my rules, I let them post what they want
