    Just how strict is the rule reguarding the use of swear words both on the Official Site and in TPT itself? (If there is a rule in effect that is)
    Sorry if this question sounds n00bish.

    Swearing is against the rules both on the website and in the game itself. It's very hard to moderate though. It's also tough to decide whether to delete a comment just because it contains a swear word, I usually leave them unless it's an angry or negative comment, or that I can easily delete without deleting part of a conversation. If I notice someone swears a lot I usually check their previous comments for more, and often find a ton of negative comments to delete. It's not as common on the website but I sometimes edit it out of posts / hide posts which swear for no reason. We have the rule because a lot of young kids play the game.

    Official rules say to avoid it on the forums,but it's not as enforced as other rules or at least seen enforced. Swearing on TPT probably has a similar policy,but if it's report worthy(ex. spam of swears),they'll usually remove comments.
