I've just removed a post that had c*&t in the title. I'm not going to get into specific rules, but I don't want that language in post titles. In comments etc in context, fine. But post titles are displayed to all users without the possibility of being filtered.

Please think of others when posting.

On the off change you're not joking... I believe it is unAustralian to be deliberately offensive and rude... which I consider out of context swearing (such as this) to be.

While Australia as a culture has a much higher threshold for swearing than most, and certainly the prudish Americans, I suppose federation means people will see the titles of Aussie.zone threads in their feeds so your decision makes sense.

At the same time I’d hate to see us get all uptight about swearing in routine discussions.

In summary: Swearing in titles: fuck no. Swearing in comments: fuck yes! :)
