lemme try to explain. i believe that to a certain extent, the rules and regulations say something about the non use of such symbols. these guidelines have to be read (and agreed to) by everyone who wants to become a member of this website. now, we don't have that many moderators online at the same time. sometimes things don't get noticed and are left unchecked. if i may suggest, why don't you PM the moderators or the owner of this site. they may be able to give you some answers. btw, i know where you're coming from and it's admirable that you still notice stuff like this. a lot of people are desensitized nowadays, myself included.
