I just wanted to post this as we have decided to make a new Inappropriate Content Violation. Given the recent AdSense violations the site has received, and that lucid is in the process of appealing this violation as well as possibly looking into alternative sources of ad revenue, we need to clean up the site as a whole and strictly enforce their guidelines.
This rule has been rolled out to serve an immediate need as we make through this transition. Mods have been instructed to be lenient in the coming days and weeks as this new rule gains awareness and as the paradigm shift begins. That being said, any community and moderator input on the language of this rule would be greatly appreciated.
We'll be giving out mostly verbal warnings, notes for now (especially to those who are unaware, of course), but moving forward we will start enforcing the violations more strictly.
I'd like to give shout outs to gistofeverything for the language of the ruling, and Giga for drafting up the disciplinary scheme.

"I'm in a position with a line of communication and have the ability to try to talk about it logically, but instead I'm going to just tuck my tail between my legs and just go with it."
Lucid needs someone to talk to him realistically. No one in the position to do that is even trying. That's what's most infuriating about all of this. You're not even trying. You're simply allowing this to happen.
I mean, I personally don't want to have to be this strict, but given the circumstances and what lucid wants (it is his site), I will do what I can to ensure that these policies are enforced.
Better safe than sorry.

In most cases use of profanity amplifies anger, leading to uprisings and instability. Regardless of what you believe about its use, Lucid's stance on it is clear.
Right now lucid is on a downward spiral of paranoia and overreaction. He needs someone to talk sense into him and from what I'm seeing, none of the people in the position to do that are even trying, instead they're just bowing their heads and going with his paranoia.
This "It's lucid's site we do as he says" crap has to stop, it's his site but it wouldn't be here without us. We're actively trying to keep it alive when he was just about ready to give up on it and even blamed it on us. Remember when he said "how could you guys do this to me?"
He needs to listen to us. Some of us have always done right by him and he's just not [redacted] listening.
