What advantage is there to swearing? The forum's meant for 13 year olds and up, not all people of the minimum age are going to know what swear words are or which words count as swear words, and to gain that kind of knowledge over an Internet forum isn't the best way to learn.

Why do people feel the need to swear on a forum? Because they swear in real life quiet a bit, and it pours out into keyboard speak naturaly as a result. By the same token, why do people feel the need to complain about it?
If people thirteen years and up cant handle a bit of swearing, they dont belong on the internet full stop. Why dont we ever cater for the majority on this forum and not censor everyone in the emergency event that a five year old gains access to the forum and asks his mommy what various curse words mean?
