If you break the rules, you get punished. Like me, I swore several times, and I got warnings. Although, I said s***, and I didn't say the whole word, and I still got warned,and I fought with Mith about it, makes no sense, but still Dave.

The Org has, since before I joined, had a certain culture. That culture was based in large part around mature, respectful and intelligent posting. Posts were meant to be articulate and readable. Lack of grammar, poor spelling, incorrect capitalisation, ignoring of punctuation, these were all things that were against the culture of this forum. The release of RTW saw an influx of new patrons who went against this culture, but the ones who've stuck around have kinda been assimilated by the collective
Swearing comes under the heading of "Against the culture of The Org". Swearing does not promote reasoned, intelligent, articulate discussion. No-one thinks you are big or clever for swearing.
FWIW, I have had one post edited for (very mild) swearing. But you know what? I didn't post a big wah about how terribly I'd been treated, the mods are evil, yadda yadda yadda. I accepted what the mod had done, accepted that, by a rigorous, exact interpretation of the forum rules I had over-stepped the mark, and got on with life.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
