''Personally, I don't think we should have a total lockdown on swearing. If people want to swear within reason, then they should be allowed to do so. I agree the rule is a little vague, but I didn't want to expand on it too much and just wanted to leave it with a simple "don't swear at other users with malicious intent".'' The point I'm trying to make here is that the current rule is NOT a total lockdown on swearing. It allows swearing, as long as it's not directed at another user or excessive. And even this still leaves some room for the moderator to decide what is "excessive".

''The way the new rule is written is intended to keep the sexual references to a minimum. Most of the chat users are mature enough to know when they should stop discussing it so I don't think we should state absolute minimum's.'' Like the swearing rule, I actually find this rule too subjective as well... it leave it entirely up to the moderators, and if the users in the chat are less thick-skinned than the mods present, they will be the victims of that.

Also, as ゆ pointed at the other thread, it seems like this community did already oppose against vulgarities, only three days ago. I do not believe that in three days, the chat has become a lot stricter on this, so if anything, the mods should take action against it, not loosen up the rules compared to the current ruleset.

Our mods have done many actions but they still get no respect anyway. Guess I always seem to miss those actions then? xD

''Each moderator has different limits and some mods may be fine with letting some discussions slide whereas others may not. At this present point, some moderators are choosing not to enforce certain rules because they are a little restrictive and needless.'' When a wiki has rules, that's because they need to make things clearer, not be a guideline that moderators can ignore as they deem fit. It will only confuse people when different mods take different actions. Of course there will be minor changes, but I think that mods should be all on one side as much as possible. It will not be very healthy if mods even disagree among each other.

''I think it should be on a case-by-case basis, based on what wiki it is. I myself run my own wiki and it would be annoying to be banned from linking to my wiki's chat (if it was enabled) just because a rule said so. As I say, it should really be on a case-by-case basis. :)'' I really don't think it should. Chat invasions are always bad, because they are invasive and therefore disrupt another chat... I may imagine that on wikis that 24/7 have less than 5~10 users in chat, a rule like that isn't necessary, but it has quite proven to be useful here. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been invasions.
