@Sophia1 I think this would be a good place to also discuss appropriate language...
I personally find swearing offensive. I understand that it is the 'normal' everyday language for some people - but it seems to have a greater imoact when the words are written on a page. It can also be seen as 'hostile' language in certain situations.
Swearing and inappropriate language can also be a deterrent for people to enter a conversation or reply to a post. This is possibly where we can distinguish also between a positive or negative post - I would see swearing as using negativity in a post. I personally am more reluctant to reply to someone that is communicating using inappropriate or offensive words. this could be something also looked at by our community managers @NikNik - what words should be added to the 'banned' list.
