Vulgarity on iHub

The "PG13" standard is loosely used as a guideline to what is/isn't acceptable when determining whether a comment is vulgar. If society has deemed it appropriate for a 13 year old to hear, it is unlikely that it will be offensive to the majority of Users.

Note that there are also "polite versions" for many acronyms and these are assumed to be the case when in doubt (i.e. "wtf?" = "what the freak?" in the polite version).

*Any form of vulgarity directed at or about other users is unacceptable and should be removed (i.e. "you're a sh*thead", "being an a** doesn't help your case"). At a minimum, such posts are off-topic by definition since they contain content about other users.
