About rule 3.2

[Linkus]

I highly doubt any child that has the mental capacity to use the forums properly and FL properly will be shocked to see a minor swear word or two while they are playing. They hear it in school, they hear from their friends, they hear it from themselves. I'm 17 and from the age of say 10, swearing became a common occurance in school. Hell I could rattle off a few interesting ones know that would definately not be called minor. I don't swear in real life at all really, only if something really does get to me (Both happy and sad, they are more words for exclaiming something that simply damning it, for me anyway)

As has been said, Freelancer is a violent game. You fly around in your heavily armed spacecraft, causing death and destruction wherever you go (Think SP) and come up against an enemy that intends to destroy the entire human race. Not only that, but it is littered with drug use, criminal activities, sexual suggestions and swearing.
Given that description, you would not think that Freelancer would be a game for your ikkle children.

Swearing 24/7 in system chat would get a little boring to be honest, and people unuse to it would probably get insulted (If you didn't know better).
Perhaps allow some minor swearing, with warnings given instead of bans etc. Keep it somewhat strict though, with so many people it can be a slippery slope. You wouldn't get people being called bastards etc constantly because the flaming rules still apply.
