I cocur with Glitch. I understand why we should disallow swearing in it's entirety on the main wiki. We may need to be  of13 years or older to make an account, but people of any age could read this wiki.

To keep it safe for any possible underaged readers I support its removal on the main wiki.

However, the chat is an entirely different story. You must have an account to access the chat, so that means you must be of 13 years or older. While I don't generalizing an entire group, I do believe most children around the age of 13 have at least some knowledge of this word. Practically every user on the chat has knowledge of the words we use and have not voiced a particular problem; most people never say anything about the word "goddamn" either. It's only when something like this pops up when people start joining the bandwagon of removing it, which puzzles me. Anyway...

Either way, the chat is more populated by older users who are fine with such language, like censoring and the word goddamn being used. Since we're supposed to assume everyone is 13 years old or older, removing swearing in its entirety on the chatroom would only restrict the users there and benefit us in absolutely no way whatsoever.

On an side note, am I the only one who finds it a bit ridiculous we just got through a few forums to change the swearing and linking rules, which much of the community seemed to agree, only to have another forum that will remove a huge chunk of this?
