In terms of offending another member. I feel that if someone were to post a personal attack or insult to someone else in response to being publicly attacked or insulted themselves then both members should receive penalty.
That is, being abusive should rightly be punished without exception. As being provoked is no excuse. There is a Report Post function let us not forget, and Private Messages to iron out personal differences.
On another note. A couple of years ago, within a Touring Cars sub-forum, it became apparent that an individual was creating new accounts (and virtual friends) to back them up and support their troll-like behaviour.
It is one thing creating accounts for light-hearted jokes, say, but doing so purely to strengthen ones self in petty forum battle, or to bully other members should be punished harshly (as I think it was at the time).
I'm sure that the example I used isn't the only time it has occurred. Maybe be nice to have some sort of published forum rule about it (in the FAQ Dave.. : )
Lastly, I don't like to see **** appearing all over posts. It isn't necessary to swear in order to communicate your feelings about something.
So, maybe even when censored, a member should be expecting penalty points for inappropriate language. Attempting to avoid censorship should be worth extra penalty points too.

Yes. This is what it looks like
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

But for instance if I said "Martin you're a ****head and blah blah **** this **** that" then I think points are called forRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Personally I find "*****..." just as disrespectful as the actual words.
There is no need for vulgar language, in any form, as this is supposed to be a family forum.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

In the second, it is not so much the swearing but the abuse which would earn you penalty points.
I accept that some censored words may not really be considered that offensive by many people. And then I don't doubt some will say that my view here is being boring.
But I really don't see how using bad language is all that creative.

I'm not against swearing, as I do it myself, but as this place is a family forum, the rules should be respected. If you can't say "hit", then you shouldn't be able to say "h1t" either.
