This includes swearwords in any language or code. Benefit of the doubt may be given where a legitimate word in one language is offensive in another.

The forum has an "autocensor" feature that automatically replaces words considered swearing with asterisks. It is considered a breach of rule 10 to partially disguise a word in such a way that the autocensor does not recognise it, even if such practice is considered enough elsewhere. Note that just because swearing is disguised does not mean a post will not be in breach of other rules, such as rule 0 or Rule 12.
