The topic is whether we either ban all swearing on articles, censored or otherwise, or we allow it altogether. We can have the rules for chat and wiki be separate, sure. That still has nothing to do with what I started this thread for. Please pay attention everyone. Okay, so after reading this, I have a better understanding of it now. Ban swearing all together. Seriously. F bombing an article (or using any other swear or derogative text) doesn't improve it, and I suspect there are people on here who would abuse being allowed to swear without restraint. Besides, as other people mentioned, kids do visit this site, even if as an annonymous reader. While it is true that they'll be exposed to foul language sooner or later, shouldn't it be done when they're actually MATURE enough to handle it? Ever heard some random kid cuss every swear word imaginable and call you every single insult in the English language (and he/she probably had little to no clue what any of it meant)? Pretty unnerving, and rather pitiful.

As for the chat, do whatever you want. Personally, I think if you can't go a single discussion without swearing like a drunk sailor, then you have problems. But hey, who gives a yippie-ki-freaking-yay about what I think?
