I know most of you are mature enough to avoid the unacceptable swear words but I've seen a few instances of newer people [ no offence ] using language that is just a tiny bit above what is allowed.
Swearing in /ch ooc:
This is pretty much a definite no, but it can depend a lot on the staff watching the chat. As a point of reference, I've been told off for saying 'Damn' before, so yeah... If you must curse, use darn, bother etc. Try to avoid raging in /ch ooc too, chances are, nobody really wants to know that you lost your Protection IV armour.
Swearing in /ch rp and /ch whisper
Now this one is an interesting subject. If you traveled back to Medieval times, people would be swearing a lot more than nowadays, some swears not even being considered as such back then. But in Altera, swears are pretty much limited to Arse, Bastard [ in context ], and Piss. With all of these, as much as you can use them, you should probably avoid over-using them. Another thing to point out, would be that the blow of a swear tends to be lightened, if a noun is placed after it, for example: Arse-Hat and Piss-Mop/Bucket/Rag. Or, to make life easier, just type it as an action, for example: *Curses under her/his breath*
Swearing in /ch house
As far as I am aware, this purely depends on who is in your house, or online at the time. For example, Arcturus will swear if we want to in /ch house with whatever swears we want, but just try to avoid it anyway, unless you are absolutely sure that everyone who will see it is okay with it.
Swearing in Private Messages [ @ ]
With this, just presume that they do not want you swearing, so do not.
Swearing in other channels [ /ch quiz etc. ]
No swearing here, also try to just keep your messages in /ch quiz to just your answers, it makes it easier on the Staff member moderating the quiz, who has to filter through tonnes of 'Oh, I nearly got that!'s and 'Curse you, fast typers!'s.
Thanks for taking the time to read, hope you took it into account.
