Abusive language
If a hubber use bad and abusive language in a comment on your hub.what will be your response?.And what are the rules and regulations of hub pages community regarding about using abusive language.?
Of course, it is not permitted. However, it would depends on how abusive the words are. At times, what my country men speak could hurt others but it doesn't mean that we meant it. it could just because we are used to it.
So, yes we can flag them first and let the moderators do their part
Yeah, I flag it for general awareness. I think you can write a funny and insightful hub without using curse words.
Abusive language is not permitted in HP. I would flag it for the moderators to see. Making a point can be done without using foul or abusive language.
Profanity and abusive comments are never acceptable behaviour at any time, especially if put in print on Hub Pages. If this is done in a comment on one of your Hubs, you have the right to delete the comment. If it is done in the answers section or the Forum you should report it.
You can put that on your own website. I think the average person who swears quite often has a limited vocabulary. People who swear every 30 seconds might think they're 'edgy' when it is no reflection of any kind of strength.
I think it would depend on whether the abusive language was directed at me or another hubber on a personal level. Then I would report the matter. If the hubber was just commenting in general and not directing the abusive language at anyone, just using it in conversation, then It wouldn't bother me.
I would probably delete bad or abusive language that were comments on my hub. It's my hub, and I decide what gets to be on it.

I know we should report spun articles and the like, but the guidelines also warn to be careful not to report people who don't have English as their first language.However, I've come across hubs that are written by such people, and the English is pretty bad.I don't mean to be insensitive or...

I always use visual watermarks with all my online photos. I don't feel comfortable using my photos online without them. Almost all my photos that transferred over have them. I heard that photos with watermarks might be removed because they're not allowed. What is...

I've gotten two emails about the same hub, which of course was one of my holiday hubs - the hubs that helped build up most of my following on here.It was about the first flights between the Hawaiian islands, and the content talked about airplanes, airports, Hawaii... and the picture had a hang...

I think it should.Here is why.It will improve the quality of the HubPages. Currently, because Hubbing is allowed only in English, many people who are not comfortable with English are forced to write in English. This leads to many hubs, as well as comments on hubs, that are barely comprehensible and...

I'm thinking new hubs get looked at right away by the moderators.Whereas the reworked hubs will sit until a moderator stumbles upon them.Or does the reworked hub get a priority over the "featured" hubs not yet on the niche sites.Sems the niche sites are the place to get too, not just a...

Dear Team Hubpages thank you very much I finally received a reply to my request for clarification. Unfortunately, now I have a burning question:Does the "violation" like this on a two year old 700 words hub with established profit record and about 30K total viewsReally warrant an email...
