My position is a little mixed. I'm 18, I cuss in my day-to-day life, without really thinking about it, and I find myself only fixated on it when I'm at work or on Chat. For me personally, I like swearing. There are certain things that can only be said through profanity (or at least the full effect is lost by the lack of profanity). However, I'm and adult, but most people on this wiki aren't. Now, I'm not going to get all preachy and bossy or anything, I just believe that it shouldn't be as necessary for children or teenagers to swear. I swear way too much, I recognize that, and I'm working on cutting it back.

The issue I have is evidence provided by early 2015 (I think it was February) when the admins allowed a month of unlimited and no-rules profanity in Chat. It was HEAVILY abused. Every user (myself included), aside from a select few hyper-mature users, inserted a swear every single sentence, for the sake of profanity. This is why I don't think full profanity should be allowed.

Younger (than me) users, I'm sorry. I don't know any of you personally, but based on the last time we tried this, we shouldn't be allowed to use full profanity in Chat. I don't think the words we have now are too limiting, and I feel that it's fine when we're allowed to use acronyms for phrases that contain banned profanity (ie. "wtf").

Thank you for your time.
