12.4 Swearing will not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. ACC uses swear filtering to prevent posts contained offensive language. Any attempts to circumvent these filters (ie by using numbers in place of letters or misspelling the word) shall be considered a breach of this AUP and action may be taken again the user.
