Why Is language Acceptable On Bodybuilding.com?

***SERIOUS POSTING!***


Ive returned to these boards after a very short absence! I'd say 2 minutes.

These boards used language back then.
I'm actually very shocked and appalled at the common use of language in todays world.

It is not acceptable.

I was wondering why the Mods do nothing about this?
What is BB.com's official position on language and terminology use on its platform?
What is the procedure used against those who use language?

I'd like the mods to answer please.

Regards
