Forum:Language Policy Reform

Proposal
I feel that the Language Policy of this wiki is unfair and immoral. We should be able to use "swear" or "curse" words so long as they are not used to harass other users. For example: "Playing Mass Effect 2 on insanity was a bitch" Should Be allowed because it is used to describe a situation instead of a person. However saying "(Insert name of User) Is a bitch" Should Not Be allowed as I consider that a form of harassment. Now what words can we say you ask? Well I feel all racial and sexual slurs should be banned because that form of hate does not belong on this wiki. Aside from that I would allow all curse words so long as they are not being directed toward another user. In Mass Effect there is some "foul" language used which I find ironic since we are having this issue on this wiki. Mass Effect is rated "M" under order of the ESRB therefore those who are over 17 and are suppose to be playing it should also have the ability to hear curse words without being offended. I personally can't see how words like "Damn" or "Shit" or "Fuck" can offend someone. I feel we should have the discretion to choose what words we use to describe something. I was told even the word "Moron" is banned which I find to be completely asinine.--GethHaveFeelings2 (talk) 11:18, August 27, 2012 (UTC).
