Generally, it's a no-no, but mostly just the higher-tier swear words. PG-13, if I had to summarize it. And nobody's going to get banned just for letting something slip. People only get instantly banned if they're being particularly bad, or are clearly doing something they've been asked not to do. Everyone else gets at least a courtesy warning/explanation and plenty of clarification on the rules first.
I don't mind diving into the more granular details of all this if you like, though it might be too pedantic to do publicly. Feel free to fire any test case questions my way via PM, though, if you want a better feel for any of it.
I'm the owner and I'm an American, and I believe the server we lease is in America. I'd say a plurality of users are probably American, too, but it's not an overwhelming number.[/quote]
Ok, just wanted to know. In the U.K. everyone uses th F-word every two seconds and it's no big deal. OTOH, I've known Americans to faint if you say "hell" for some reason, lol. Having said that, I grew up in th US but didn't know a lot of swear words back then.
