User blog comment:Jake R/Admin and Chatmod Discussion: Swearing/@comment-1221823-20120824014421

The thing is, a chatroom is not a movie. It is not a classroom, nor a daycare. Swearing, especially among teenagers, should be appropriate, or at least not innappropriate. The only reason to not swear is if the chatroom has become a formal location or if young children (say, under 10 or 9) are around.

In my opinion, there should be only four hard-enforced chatroom rules:

1. No verbal harrassment

2. No flamewars/fights

3. No purposely being obnoxious/ticking people off after they tell you to stop

4. No spamming/advertising
