Board Thread:Wiki General Discussion/@comment-5428123-20130724094003

Recently, I was making my monthly rounds through the site where I find swears in user comments, and either delete them or censor them out. After doing this a bit, I decided to find a way to create some kind of filter for this stuff. But I ended up stumbling upon an old discussion at Runescape Wiki where this exact kind of thing was discussed, and it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps using automated filters was being overly restrictive, and that I was potentially instituting a form of censorship.

To get to the point of this post, what are your opinions on the subject? Should swearing be allowed at the wiki? Or should this kind of thing be filtered out? Any comments or suggestions?
