The rule on profanity has existed on this Wiki has existed for years before either of you have been on here (going by your earliest edits, which were made in 2016). The issue of whether or not to limit profanity has been discussed several times throughout SNN's history, but in the end the decision to limit our language to make it more family-friendly to our readers/general User base, which we assumed would on average be quite young of age (anywhere from the single digits to even 12-13 years old, if I remember correctly), ultimately won out each and every time. Considering that Sonic the Hedgehog is a children's franchise, it made sense to a number of us to make effort to try and maintain a family-friendly image, at least in terms with how we chose to communicate with one another.

You may feel that the policy is ridiculous even in the face of this line of reasoning, but I felt that at the very least some context was needed as to why the rule exists and why it has been a part of site policy for as long as. If you feel either of you feel strongly enough about this topic to want to discuss it with the rest of the Wiki even further, you're free to go ahead and set up a discussion thread in a dedicated forum. Continuing this discussion in a thread that's supposed to be about Sonic Boom episode 71 isn't really the best place to talk in length about site policy.
