> [@](#): > > **No abusive remarks directed at other posters** > > Don’t direct obscenities or vulgarities at other posters - this includes everything from “fuck you” on up. If you don’t like another poster, you’re free to make that plain. That doesn’t mean you can say anything you want. Creative insults are permitted; crude vituperation is not. We’ll be the judge of what constitutes abuse. Given the recent demonstrations of the admins’ judgment of what does or does not constitute a threat, I decided to apply the same standards and check current Pit threads for vulgar expletives that might warrant a poster a warning. I got to 8 with, 3 without, and stopped counting. ---

I like the one about how everything you say has to be related somehow to barbeque. That really focuses things. ---

As I understand the New Rules, they forbid obscenities, vulgarities, and similar abuse (but not “creative insults”) **against other posters**.
