User blog comment:Hereticalthoughts/Swearing on 40k Wiki: An Exercise in Hypocrisy/@comment-25618639-20151009023700

The reason why profanity is prohibited on the site is because the staff doesn't want people cursing at each other or disrespecting one another with inappropiante words. I agree that it is fun to joke around with people by using profanity, but many times I've seen on other 40k forums, a light-hearted joke turn into a full on fight where people call each other some pretty nasty things, and I mean nasty.
