Hmmmm...well, we will have young users visiting this place, and as I have mentioned in my Ban of Swearing section, they may not be allowed to come back. New users coming to edit would be really helpful, but if they are forced away by swearing, we lose potential users by having swearing. However, you have raised a point that could be used to stop users from swearing. If a user is swearing, and we tell them to stop, and they don't stop (if we have the "Immature swearing is banned thing" in the policy), I (or another admin) can present them with a warning to stop, as there swearing would be "immature".

If they continue 3 more times, we can block them for "immature swearing". However, users would have to ask other users to stop swearing if those other users were swearing, and would have to message them back 3 more times. It seems much easier to just place in the policy "All swearing is banned. Swearing used to place emphasis on something, etc.", as then we don't have to message the swearing user. Also, this would eliminate all swearing everywhere on the wiki.

Although you provide a way to stop a user from swearing, I think placing in the the Policy to have all swearing banned would be better than having to ask all users who swear to stop. And when we get more users, some of them will be ones who swear, and it will kind of be a pain to have to message all of them to stop swearing. Some may stop, some may not, it could become rather annoying (as I have mentioned in the previous sentence) to have to message several users, when we could just place in the policy "All swearing is banned".

Ones who read the policy will not swear, and we won't have to message them. Doesn't it seem easier to just add to the policy "All swearing is banned" (along with the other stuff I proposed)?
