Ignoring grammatical errors:
 * 1) There could be secretly underaged users in chat. They don't declare their real ages so they cover them up instead with teenage ages. We may not know who they are but I can sense it. I can't tell who, because I don't know.
 * 2) Swearing tends to cross the harassment border. I know Brainulator9 already did say that they won't allow swearing to be used as insult, but not everyone adheres to this. One example of a line that could be really inuslting is ", just mind your own f[word censored] business." This aforementioned sentence here is really harsh and possibly cross the harassment border. Even if the person saying that is not really saying "F[word censored] you" to the person who/she is talking to. Anyone could be easily offended.
 * 3) It would be unfair to those who have been banned from chat for swearing before. Thre are users who have been banned from chat before back at the time the "no swearing rule" is stayed. That can be unfair because if mods have banned users for swearing before and then suddenly swearing became allowed now, then why did people now allow swearing if some users have been banned for swearing before? That's like reversing the rule.


 * Children could very well learn profanity outside of this wiki. My parents are an example, and my nine-year old brother (not Bubstock9, mind you) is very well exposed to profanity. In fact, Pepsicola45 used profanity in chat at the age of twelve.
 * ...did you not see that, regardless of what happens here, that wouldn't be tolerated? I said this on Xenons's talk page, and I'll say it again: I can cause more mental damage without profanity than a profanity-laden cliche statements.
 * To be fair, I see that. Example?
