My boys veiw this site with me as well, imo it is an adult based site so it some thing is not right for them to see i skip past fast.Also you say your littleun is 2.5 i would have thought that you have not got much of a worry yet as i would not have thought he is reading yet.

i respect you dont want to see bad language, but you have to respect this is an adult based forum ,and respect that other people want to swear, and untill swearing gets banned, either live with it, or dont look at it.

Rule 2b.

Your language and the use of profanities.

As its important to us to keep a community atmosphere of a fun and banterous nature, we feel it would at this time be inappropriate to ban all swearing completely due to it being a generally accepted part of the everyday English language in use today.
However; We do require a few simple common courtesies be employed:

Do not aim swear words at other individuals, keep them to a bare minimum and also in context.

Please do not use swear words in the title of a Topic.

We are constantly reviewing this situation and can assure you that if the swearing leniency is abused we will simply activate the swear filter already available in our server software.

Keep it sensible is all we ask.

Topic's with titles containing swear words will be either.
A) Moved to a more suitable room.
B) Edited.
C) Totally deleted.

Entirely at the webteams discretion. As a final point, we do no allow the use of swear words in avatars, signatures or usernames. Users found to be ignoring these simple rules are liable to a ban.
HTH

Agree with u mate. But what do you do? In life, if we see children are near - we kurb our language. Can't do that here

Get him to give you some spelling lessons
I spend time on here while my 3 year old is about and I'm careful what I click on but it is an adult site and most posting is done in the evening when the kids are tucked up in bed anyway.

Firstly cant say your son cant read at 2.5 but if he can and if he knows and can read the s word at 2.5 you have failed misserably to bring him up sensably imo. As i stated i do veiw this site with both my sons, but it is a car enthuisast site and not CBEEBEES sorry

It was a fair question mate, and to be honest, you can pretty much tell from the topic if there is going to be bad language... My little lad is 6 and to be honest he's more interested in looking at the smilies and the cars than reading the posts... don't let it put you off the site mate, just keep him out of the muppet room

Mate no one is saying he should'nt be looking on here far from it just that YOU should use a bit of common sense if you see/open a post you think is going to have swearing in it and your little one is with you dont click on it or carry on reading it with him sat there.

No one is saying he cant look on here your blowing it WAY!! out of proportion mate if your reading a topic and it has swearing in it and you dont want him to see/read it then stop reading it simple realy. I FULLY understand you dont want him to see or hear swear word's but it's a part of everyday life hence why it's not band on passionford.

Who said you shouldnt sign up?

Its an adult orientated site....End of really. If you chose to have your child by your side when browsing then you chose to risk him seeing words that ya dont want him to...

At theend of the day as soon as he starts school he is going to hear the words anyways, its up to you to make sure he doesnt repeat them...

Yes you can fucking swear on this website.

Now go and get you 2 year old and ask him which word i have just typed is a swear word? Bet he cant understand any of it, because if he can, he is bordering on being a genius.
