I still really don't get the whole rule about swearing, because honestly, a lot of links of our fics have swearing in them, and swearing is not as bad as people think. There are a lot of historical links 'profane' words. It makes no sense really, the f word is just a simpler way of saying intercourse, and the b word is just a female dog. The s word, like the f word, is a simpler way of saying defecate. It's just, unless I go to someone and saying, you are an f*cking b*tch get off the f*cking wikia, I don't get why it's an offence. We over dramatise the aspect of swearing because we believe that it is really a problem, but it's your sentiment. I have no problem as an athiest with saying any swear words, and they're usually used to accent what I'm saying. I like using swears to get my point across. I really just don't get it. And thinking that avoiding it will stop it happening in real life is a stupid idea. Kids will learn about swears regardless. It's what they do when they swear which is the problem, not the act itself. I, honestly just want to get rid of the rule. Why should it be allowed on other wikias but not here? (Side note: HoA was created to cater for a teenage demographic, and teenagers are more than likely to swear, depending on their religions and how comfortable they are with the act). I hope you take my argument into consideration for the future.
