Rule number 3 of the "Grounds for Blocking" section is the only one that I have an issue with, the rest are fine. The problem is that it's too over reaching and can be left to interpertation. Someone may not like cursing but it's a part of many users vocabulary and it's up the the individual as the whether or not they take offence to it. Does this mean we should ban the use of profanity too? If someone can't take a joke then that's on them and them alone.

There's a difference betteween "Ben you cock sucking fuck bag rot in hell you plie of rat shit fucker!"* and "Ben, you butt muncher :D"  If Jennytheladyperson is friends with Bennythedudeperson and and she says the latter of the two and CarlMcmandude sees this and he doesn't know that it's the two get along well then he may take it as an insult an bring it to the new up and coming New Mod Moddudeman44 and Jennytheladyperson might get blocked for no reason.

If Jennytheladyperson used the former then she would be taking it too far the would be covered by rule 4 "Use of excessive profanity/cursing or directing it towards another user is not permitted." and would be blocked/kicked/banned on reasonable grounds.

So as my close out to this part of my commenet, Rule 3 of :Grounds for Blocking"  should be toned down and mixed with rule 4.

So a posible new rule is which is the melding of the two is:

" The use of excessive profanity/cursing or directing it towards another user with hostile intent is not permitted. This is a place where everyone should be welcome.Occasional curse words are fine. Cursing in every other sentence is not. If a user takes offence and is asking another user to leave the Chat or vice versa then the user who is doing so should be reported."

Something alone that line should do right?
