Whilst there was no formal rule change, like @oootopia said, Andrew informed us staff to be more lenient with the swearing rule. Allow it here and there but no spaming or excessive use etc. I think that's why some people are confused as there was no 'announcement' as to what's allowed and not allowed and no real rule change.

 

He sure as heck didn't tell all of us to begin with and there is yet to be any way to reference how things should be handled :/

Common sense works to a point but it's a big change up, not the best way to launch.

 

I can tell who swore in the picture >_>

 

Nah. Anything goes in ch vip, and soon probably global too. If bad words hurt peoples feelings they can disconnect. There's too much butthurt these days.

Also not doing a filter, would just be a waste of time.
