If it can't be expressed without cursing, I suspect it doesn't actually mean anything. There have been some (well, one) bad censorship incident so far. Trying to control your screaming insults at someone who is a good lier, a bad person, and probably not a forum reader, or at the admins, just isn't up there.
What in the world makes you trust this piece of (pre-censored for your convenience) player anyway?

I think it is fairly obvious to whoever reads this that you are not handling this situation well. I responded to your original concern with a message for both players who try to give OOC threats as well as to those who recieve them. I have also done some other things related that you are not aware of.
It is unreasonable to turn your frustration of a cheating player onto a staff member who solves such cheating.
We have never argued in the several years that we've been playing, and I don't see the benefit of starting now.
It seems as though you have to make a problem into an "You're either with me or against me" scenario. I don't do that.
Why don't you have the last word, and then let's drop the argument. Sound good?

Listen here, it's up to parents to decide what their children read. Not me. Just because you're not cussing doesn't mean you're acting like any less then a ****(edit) then me at this point.
You're with me or against me? Are you kidding me? The staff has never been on my side and I'm the only one telling the truth. I'm still here. I could care less who's side your on. I could care less if there's sides.
So thank you ****(edit), I will take the last word.

So fake.
Well yes, I've been edited twice on this forum for cussing. But it's not necessary at all to provide a view or what not that contributes.
It's your opinion to voice, that it's artificial, but insulting people is just offensive and wreckless.
Tell me, is there any point to adding four letter one syllable sounds? It doesn't add emotion, drama; it's just destructive.

Well hardly should I want you throwing punches to no one 
or anyone else.
So take a few swings at me until you get it out of your system.
EDIT:
Oh, Anthony:
Have you ever considered how POMPOUS, ARROGANT and (disparaging) OBSESSION WITH YOUR TITLE comes across?
Because, damnit, ... I-uh forgot the punchline. **** (edited)
or anyone else.

Is there some reason you consider it an essential right to be allowed to post assorted content-free nouns on the board? If so, make it an off-topic thread and I'll post on it.
If you're just angry at Jeslange for not posting the home address of the player in questions...I don't get it.
If there's some big, dark secret of cantr that you desperately need to get out, feel free to PM it to me. If I agree, I'll goin your hopeless fight against tyrrany. In the far more likely case that I think you're nuts, I may send a mildly insulting response.
Really...what truth are you the only one telling? I don't think anyone contradicted any facts you stated. Your inferences maybe.

Okay, my turn to step in.
Chrissy, shut up.
Jon, shut up
Jessica, keep up the good work, please be quiet now.
Now down to business.
Swearing is swearing. The only thing is adds to a conversation is flavour, not meaning. I could say every swear word in the book, and no one would understand, they'd just think "He's crazy" or "He must be very mad at something." - There is no meaning, so it isn't needed.
However, people do swear on the forums, I'm one of them. But I tend to think that the forum is rated PG-13, since, most players (If not all) are above the age of 13 on this forum. (And, due to COPPA) PG-13 does not include censorship on the word "ass". So I say it freely, but I can't really speak for the moderators, that's they're own personal style if they choose to remove it, or choose to keep it.
The point is, please calm down. You came to the forum for help, to report someone claiming they're staff, or abusing their staffly abilities. Whichever, it was a problem, and you handled it by reporting it. However, you really did not need to explode after your post was edited. Some things don't belog on the forums, especially when they're regarding someones characters being reported in public, so listing a characters name is never wise - as to why most General Support threads have character names removed or changed. Vulgarity (I use the term in a sense of extreme swearing) is also not-permissable, I'd say, it's not needed, and it really brings down the atmosphere.
Now, Chrissy, I know you don't need a speech, and I know you're angry that you're being sensored by "The Man" and you can't do anything about it. But comon, everyone is sensored on the forum for one thing or another, it's nothing new! Please, get used to it, take a deep breath, and get on with your life. Fighting a war without weapons is insane.

Chrissy, your report will be processed, with or without cussing. Players impersonating staff members in game and threatening to have others removed is nothing new. The PD knows how to deal with such players.
Jessica is a member of that department, and part of her duties also covers maintaining a friendly forum tone. The editing/removing of some of your posts is in line with our forum policy.
So, if you disagree with that policy, you should be angry at the Game Administration Council, or at Jos, or at me specifically, but Jessica is really just providing service that we asked her for, and for which we are very grateful, because she's doing that, like all staff members, on a voluntary basis.
Jessica, if you need my help with finding the player in question, let me know.
I think, everything has been said in this thread, hence I'll lock it.
Concerns may be directed at me directly, through PM, for example.
