Reddy, Toad, maybe you wouldn't--I certainly hope you wouldn't--but the perception seems to be there, and you guys need to deal with that in whatever way seems best to you. If the chatmods are afraid to do their jobs, then there's not much point in having chatmods in the first place.

As for the prospect of all the profanity harming the wiki, people need to undestand that our conduct on open chat is part of the image we present to newcomers. As Manatee noted in another thread, sexual content on open chat is a similar problem. I get that you guys are growing up and so you perforce have sex on your minds a lot, but is it really so hard to take the swearing and the sex talk to PM?
