Alright, we all know that, as a Naruto RPG site, we're not aiming to get a bunch of little kids flocking to our site. We're roughly PG-13 when it comes to what we do. We all have done this before, and trust me, I know that when you want to get a point across, saying "God dang it!" isn't always enough to express your character's anger. Sometimes you want to swear and that's just fine. And obviously, we've got a filter in place to block out a couple things, but not a whole heck of a lot.
However . . .
This isn't an invitation for you to swear every other word, nor is it a chance for you to swear terribly. Not everybody wants to read ten different curse words per sentence while flipping through a story, even if your character is a little loose in the lips when it comes to a cuss or two.
So:
1. Keep in mind the use of asterisks for the "worse" words. If you feel the need to use a set of asterisks for a word, use the asterisks (which are these *) and not a bunch of oddball symbols. Asterisks keep your posts looking neat, rather than dollar signs and exclamation points. This isn't a terrible thing to worry about . . . but keep it in mind.
2. Don't swear every other word. People have limits, ya know. It's one thing if your character isn't shy to swear. It's another if it's in excess.
3. Don't try to use the asterisks rule to get around swearing every other word. We do know what you mean.
4. Other than that, there's not much else to say. Go have fun and express a little anger with a word that's better than "darn."
