Depends on the usage.

Swearing has its purpose, to succinctly and accurately convey emotions.

Instead, ask yourself whether an internet forum is worth getting emotional about.

For humor purposes, it shouldn't be overdone. And yes, this is me saying that.

I personally think we should just use a filter. Something where it makes f***k "f**k" so it still gets the point across.

Certain times warrant certain emotions.

I say yes, for the most vulgar words. There really isn't any situation that is big enough for any of them to be used.

Filters inherently stifle language and emotion. If you're pissed, and I stuffed a sock in your mouth, you'd get angrier.

Again, the issue isn't the language, its the emotions of the people behind it. And if anyone's offended enough by the simple word of '(something that sounds like fark but isn't)', you have to question their ability to function in real life.

Last time a kid younger than me said F**k You I chased him while he was on his bike till he stopped and said "Sorry I didn't mean it, I didn't think you could run that fast." And no there are no rules against swearing BUT if it is A FLAME it is removed. Swearing and Flaming get linked together a lot but only if you attack another poster is it removed.

Personally, the F-word is really the only one that is overboard. I really don't see any need for it. And yes, I will continue to edit it until an admin tells me otherwise. As it stands now, excessive swearing is against the rules (and as far as I see it, the f-word is excessive swearing) and making a topic about it does not give you license to use it in every post you make.
