Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

An issue--

Hey, Admins? Earlier today I was reading through a thread, and I saw two swear words. I'm not sure if they just slipped by you, or if they aren't qualified as swear words anymore, or if the CB standards have changed or what, but I was greatly disturbed, because as long as I've been on here, I haven't seen anything like that. I've always felt like this was a safe environment I could feel comfortable in, but now...not really. It made me sad to see those words on the CB. And it also scared me. I don't feel safe anymore. It made me uncomfortable. If this keeps happening, I'm afraid I may have to leave. I really don't want to, but I can't stay somewhere that I don't feel safe.

I won't mention the name of the CBer who wrote the posts containing these words (unless you need me to specify [and if need be, the word and the thread]) and I want them to know that I hold nothing against them for doing that, I just wanted to ask you, Admins, why that kind of language got through your filters and if it will happen again.  

Thanks,

~Leeli 

Please reply with the address(es) of the thread(s) and the name of the submitter(s) (especially if they're long threads) and I'll review them. I won't post your comment that gives me this info, but I'll be able to check the comments. It's possible things that should not have been posted slipped through. Thank you for letting us know.
