Myself 123 wrote: I could be wrong, but isn't the main issue about what words should and shouldn't be allowed on chat? I believe most words have already been declared as mild profanity and profanity, so I think now we need decide where "ass" and "goddamn" stand in relation to our profanity rules.

Mostly- it's really just a reminder of the chat policies on use of proper language in the chat. This was in the original post by Genesjs: "If a fair number of Users here feel that some policies on the Chat shouldn't be taken seriously/removed entirely, I would sincerely hope that you take the time to voice your opinions in a Site Discussion forum rather than risk getting yourselves in trouble with Users who do take a still-implemented rule seriously."

This thread seems to have turned into that "Site Discussion forum", and it has mostly consisted of what words should and shouldn't be allowed in the opinions of different users. It has also involved discussions on how young children could possible be learning foul words in the chat here, which was also mentioned in the original post.

As for "ass" and "goddamn", I personally feel that they should be allowed in chat as they are significantly mild, and only as long as they are not used for personal attacks (for example, they could be allowed to be used to express frustration with topics.)

Also, not using an uppercase "G" in "goddamn" would also make it more tolerable for people who may be offended by it for religious reasons. (not trying to make religion a part of this topic)
