While we're talking about the chat policy, I would like to bring something up that some people on chat are bothered by:
 * 1) Giving descriptions for links. We've had this rule for awhile now, but many mods/admins keep forgetting about it and therefore it hasn't been enforced until recently. Personally, I think the rule should be dropped completely, nothing bad has come as a result of doing this and users are not allowed to link things that go against policy anyway, so the rule seems pointless.
 * 2) Censorship of swearwords. A couple of Admins/Chat Mods have recently been asking users to censor the whole word as oppose to just censoring a couple of letters. Again, I feel this is pointless as most people can tell what the censored word is through context alone, so if a person is offended by the thought of a swear word censoring the entire word would do nothing to change that. Additionally, the rules do not state that the entire word needs to be censored.
