If swear words are used in a humorous, non offensive manner, ie in a jokey manner, not aimed to insult or denigrate, I don't see a problem with that, within reason. I do have a problem with people who simply resort to name calling as inferred by alltherages's NSFW image. That is intended to insult and abuse and it is in that context that such actions/words should not be tolerated.
However I accept that my view (it is just a view) on this is at odds with the way the Board is run and therefore it is up to me and not the Community as a whole to change.
