@FrownBuzzy Obviously, profanity has no place in wiki articles themselves as they are there to convey information. Perhaps it would be appropriate if they were part of quotes, but that doesn't really apply to this site, since nothing is really quoted from the game or Applibot themselves. And even then, Applibot seems pretty strict on profanity themselves so I doubt anything in the game would include swears. That line of reasoning was used as the basis for my policy points above.

I also get what you're saying about how restricting freedom of speech could impact community participation in a negative manner, which is something I considered when writing up my points.

I believe the goal should be to draw a line, in order to ensure that individuals are not abusing their freedom of speech to be overly derogatory or abusive, while also allowing some measure of freedom for individuals to express themselves in whatever way is natural for them. Any policy made should follow that philosophy I think.
