If you already knew it wasn't necessary, then why bring it up in the first place? At any rate, (for convenience's sake, I shall write the following in bold so it should be easier to spot) the real issue of this forum is to address a potential lapse in Mod/Admin responsibility in regards to upholding a set of rules that were established for the Chat room when it was originally implemented: Prevent the spread of strong vulgar speech on the chat for the sake of making the Chat room more User friendly towards those with language preferences on a children's franchise's website, and to make sure that inappropriate content such as pornography and other blatantly controversial topics (the ones that would cause flame wars/trolling as easily as breathing) and bullying is kept under check in order to make sure we're upholding an oath to keep this Wiki child friendly and to stay on good terms with Wikia who, last I checked, is against such content/bullying being hosted anywhere on their site.

Anyway, I also already explained my thoughts on this issue, so I won't repeat myself. There is not a big lapse in mod responsibility- The problem was an apparent lack of clarity on the rules. We assumed the word "Goddamn" was allowed, and that's all. We were never informed otherwise, as it has never been a problem throughout the years. We don't allow "ass" or "shit" on the chat. Simply, we were not informed that "Goddamn" was considered that bad a word, which brings us back to the debate on whether or not it is considered so. There is a pretty big divide on it, so I think we need to focus on that word, rather than the other ones.
