If we're all to make an effort to make this place less toxic, we need to rewrite or redefine rules, specifically in the swearing policy, and even more specifically, the swearing policy for chat and chat rules in general.

There is a huge grey area when it comes to chat in specific, which is obvious when even Mallace said "the rules are very vague right now". This needs to be fixed. Last night, I said something about Albert and I can admit that kick was warranted. However, when I say something about an entity or a person that is not directly in chat, I don't think it should warrant a kick.

Furthermore, several chat rules in particular need to be rewritten or redefined.

"No references to offensive or inappropriate topics" then we need to ban davythought and lenny again. Enough said.

"No posting links to inappropriate content" we've been doing this for a while and if we give ample time and ample warning that there's swearing in content posted then it's fine (this rule, as I just learned, has been more of a de facto rule and isn't actually written). Also, you could try to spin this as "no sexual content", but that's covered in the "no adult content" rule.

Everything else should be okay, but these rules in particular need to be updated.
