Of course there will be no problem with the running of wiki without the rule of swearing. However, what we are concerned is cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is a serious problem in the website and we want to make this wiki the best place to edit.

We can't predict someone will cyber-bully a person as you said. However, if a user offends the user, we have zero tolerance to that. We first give him/her a warning, and if s/he decides to offend the user again. Block is guaranteed. The block period depends on how offensive the sentences are. Probably vulgarity and slurs increase the offensiveness of the sentences, because they have very strong meanings and rude. Our wiki cares about the one who is bullied. I hope we could do something to comfort the one who is bullied, no matter how bad s/he is.

However, if this turns out to be a quarrel between two different parties. Then, we cannot simply block people. We need to mediate with each other. You know if we block the both parties, the quarrel isn't going to end. There must be a comprise between each other to end a quarrel. Therefore, mediation is important.

And we need to distinguish between expletives, and obscenity. Of course there is almost no problem with expletives (impolite way to express yourself would be a reason why there contains a little problem), but we don't allow obscenity because it is against Wikia's Terms of Use. One time, I see someone accused a user who talks something obscene. I'm not sure what happened at the end, but I'm sure s/he is blocked.

And I would like to replenish something. Some wikis disable AWC editing and commenting because their wikis should have once experienced a terrible vandalism of IPs. You can change your IP address easily and from time to time your IP address changes too. This is one of the reasons why some wikis disable AWC. Of course, our wiki seldom gets attacked by IP, but I kindly remind to every user that don't ever vandalism the wiki, because there are serious consequences.
