''Can someone please tell me why you guys need to swear? We're a professional website, not a social networking hub. The chat was passed under the stipulation that it was for wiki contributors to get to know each other better without spamming the site with blogs. Cursing was never actually allowed, until people just felt like doing it.''

Actually, there was no rule for swearing until the chat feature. Swearing was used on the Featured User Interview as well, which means it was even allowed on the frontpage. Back then, I questioned why swearing is allowed, however the admins back then did not see anything wrong with it. For myself, I added a no swearing rule on my talkpage. Gradually, other users imposed the rule on their talkpages as well. A bit unrelated to the purpose of the thread, so I thought I'd just let you know on your message wall.
