I'm not here to argue that the rule against swearing should be removed, but I think it should certainly be altered. I don't mean ingame because I get that Minecraft is a game directed towards a younger audience and there is a younger audience playing on the network, but I think there should be much more leniency on the forums.
I don't mean we should necessarily allow some of the worse words such as the f word because for one, it's one of the worst ones you can say, and nobody can really say it's part of their dictionary. Nobody is ever taught to use the f word over "what the heck" or "freaking." Meanwhile, some people actually grow up learning poop and butt as secondary words to there slightly worse counterparts. Also, racial slurs should not be allowed, for obvious reasons, I don't think I have to go too far into detail about that one.
Now the reason I think this should be allowed on the forums is because there is an older audience here. Technically, you're required to be at least 13 to even make an account, so isn't that bypassing the rules? Here on the forums, you're expected to be a teenager, and tell me a teenager who isn't aware of the many swear words out there. Just a suggestion, please mods, bring this up at the next meeting. There, I said it for you.
