I am writing an Intro right now and I was wondering what is acceptable language for Sleuth?

I thought it would be a good thing to know for this intro and for SMs.

I can PM an editor what I want to say and then they can tell me if it is okay or not, if you'd like.

Thank you!

:D

Yes send Ms Helen a PM with all the swear words you would like to use, she will then subtract those inappropriate and, no doubt, in some cases add words in an effort to broaden your vocabulary.

LOL! Thanks, I just have two friends talking and I feel like they wouldn't be proper, language-wise, with each other, you know?

I will send that Helen.

Thanks!

I doubt there'd be much wrong with an occasional 'damn', 'hell', or even a 'bugger off, moron', in the right situation. I do have the feeling though, that the higher up the Seven Deadly Words list you go, the more resistance you'll run into from our illustrious staff. Make sense? ;-)

(And dear Ms. Helen's got the voice of an Angel. *wink* ;-)

Yes... the voice of an angel and the language of a sailor. :-D

Or was that me? Oh, well.

Yes I do have a similar question. I've just submitted my SM and there are two areas of doubt of which i'm leaving to the impartial judgement of the editors:

1) The word the young girl uttered to her mother in the first twist. (i've put an asterisk * to replace the vowel. if appropriate, the editors can even take out the * and use the original word, if the editors find the word really inappropriate, i guess we'd have to change it...)

2) At the ending, a certain body part was removed.... not sure if that'd fly. . .


Too bad Ms Helen didn't call in during the last radio show, i'd love to hear her voice.... or did she and i missed it?
