Disclaimer: I'm not posting from my position as Wikia Helper, just as user from the chat.

These guidelines look overall good, and I agree that there should be no spam, drama causing, trolling, insulting, and so on. However, I have a couple of remarks:
 * Rules against capsing and flooding are missing from this proposed rule set.
 * About the swearing rule: current rule disallows only excessive swearing and swearing directed at a user -- this means that posting some swear words is still perfectly okay, such as swearing when you quit a game or calling something that you have "shit". Please don't swear with malicious intent is in my opinion quite vague and subjective and moreover, even if the swearing isn't malicious, a lot of swearing can be quite annoying. This means that's certainly a no against changing the swearing rule. Instead, I'd prefer if the current rule would actually be implemented. There is a lot of swearing on the chat and the current group of moderators doesn't take any action against it.
 * Sexual references the same as abovementioned: currently the topic is brought up quite regularly when there is no real need for it. Innuendos and all are fine though, I would suggest here something like "Keep sexual references to a minimum", to discourage but not completely disallow it. Additionally, sexual references directed at users are no fun at all.
 * Respect towards moderators: on one side I do believe this is necessary, but something simple like "listen to what mods say and respect their decisions in regards to bans" would be enough -- heeding to all they say is really not necessary, and as Katanagod pointed out above, moderators who actually take the actions they need to enforce the rules, will in fact be respected. I know this to be true from experience as well.
 * Besides that, I find that upon being promoted, moderators should follow and make others follow the wiki rules. They agreed to be in this position, they should heed the rules for it until a change is made. Currently it seems to me that moderators just do whatever they personally find fit, and thus not implement rules that have been voted for and supported by the community in the past.
 * Don't ask for moderator promotions -- yeah, I definitely think people make themselves seem too eager when asking for any position actually, therefore shrinking the chance they will actually get this promotion. I find it a bit much to completely forbid this however.
 * At last, I also find it a valid point what Katanagod said about chat invasions: if this has happened in the past, it is definitely worth adding in the rules, just in case. Also, (mostly in regards to what REPTILE said up there) forbidding to link chats is just to avoid people mass joining another chat. When you are talking about another wiki, you can just link that wiki. There really is no reason to link another wiki's chat directly.

This ruleset needs some changes to become workable in my opinion, sorry (:
