I'd just like to make one thing very clear - something that's obviously an issue, judging by the number of times I've just come across it.

The language that JKR and her publishers deem appropriate for her audience is their business, but on this site, you are not allowed to use the swear words that appear in the Deathly Hallows. Those who've read it will know what I mean.

Don't be tempted to use them - you will receive an official warning if you need to be reminded more than once.

We will not tolerate bad language on these boards. Please make sure that you've read and understood the rules.

The matter is not up for debate, so I'm locking this topic. Just bear it in mind, and don't say you weren't warned if you find a PM from a moderator in your inbox.
