...as a substitution for "don't"

Now, I agree completely with all the text speak an' all but this is plain outrageous. I think it provides a good accent to the word more than it serves as an excuse for caftards to use it as text speak

Could you kind mods, largely unhelpful and fat and akin to the Nazis please let this one pass by?

In return you can ban the lurking Plech for a week. You know you want to GB, as he'd fill that center space of you banning wall
 
Three errors in that sentence alone.

Here in lies the problem. "D u n n o" is not text speak, it is in fact valid English language, it is how the people from the North of England actually pronounce the bloody word. Yes, even to the point that you can write it as such in a non-formal situation.

If the point of this strange censorship is for this, then the powers that be have really lost the plot (if it is for the word "c u n t", then Jesus Christ). Instead of dealing with the football forums in a correct manner, they instead decide to create arcades to attract even more teenage arseholes with games you can cheat at, split up the general forum when there was no need to do so, and then censor perfectly valid northern dialect.

"Too many stickies, let us create a new forum" is how it goes. Well, how about no, how about create sub forums? Ah, because then you get whinging cnuts don't you? And "It's too difficult to moderate" (ask mi bollocks). The Ashes forum was a disgrace. What the feck is this place¿ it has more non-football forums than it has football forums (and only two dedicated to the bloody team it was supposed to represent)

I'm not even mentioning the X-Files.

I may have stuck my oar into a very big cooking pot, but it seems the final product of the recipe was not what was intended.

You don't get more Yorkshire that Boycott, yet who does he support?... United. If that isn't the final nail in the Roses coffin I don't know what is!

I'm not arsed about the censorship of this particular word. Personally I'm more offended by the word 'Dunne'. I echo Weastes sentiments regarding the farce that is the entertainment forum though

Yes. That's the exact argument Weaste. Its got nothing to do with text speak really, which I personally also detest. The word is acquired from dunno and I've always maintained that point

And I agree completely with the rest of your post too
 
'Dunno' is not censured

To my knowledge never has been...
