 * fa[censored] - Term used to offend people who belong to the LGBT community.

I know what words you mean too. (Although I needed the descriptions to understand what they are too.) But there's also various degrees of sensitivity to those words as well. What is taboo versus not? And amongst whom can it offend?
 * cu[censored] - Term usually offensive to girls (even boys).

Sometimes because they're taboo, people actually like to use them more for messing around with others, versus if they were overused to the point, people became desensitized to them (ie when your parents use a word), and they eventually fell out of existance.

I don't know how old you are Pinkgirl234, but my next statement is a general one. Sure, I'll use NMT to break down this in a way:

On Side A: Because 13 is the borderline age here, sometimes I wonder if there should also be a seperate chat or time for "18+ PvZ players" as well too. Adults like to cuss & talk openly for the most part. I'd definitely understand also, because barely anyone is up EST around 11:30pm for a chat. Especially on Sun-Th. But Cartoon Network has something callled Adult Swim. Go figure.

On Side B: As there's younger users on here, we might have to be careful what is said also. I haven't come across any examples yet, but I heard some young kids talking in a public area where I was on the computer and it shocked me.

Plus timezones - so you really don't know who is on when. But as a future parent, I think 13 is too young to be on a group chat anyway with strangers also, so maybe there should be a governed rule on that as well? No offense if your around that age, but if you want to protect someone, you restrict them access, give warnings or tell them spoilers right?

Also brings up a interesting point:

"Should some topics to vote be brought up in chat?"

Some people might not edit this Wikia, but they may use it or go on the chat as well. 25 mainspace edits or not. ;) And if you ever played Xbox Live before, some choice words might get thrown around I'm sure. This is likely going to boil down to an Admin vote versus a democracy one though.
