  Language Choices and LUGNET
 
The issue of profanity on LUGNET has raised many hackles, and I can't say I blame most of the people who have expressed unhappiness. The rules are vague, the punishments appear somewhat arbitrary, the entire reason for having language guidelines (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, FTX) !!

(...) I will answer the "can" questions and the "should" questions are just opinion. Yes, you "can" highlight your own post and yes Admins "can" highlight another Admins post. IMO as for "should", Admins are readers and part of the hobby as well, so (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
