I'm not allowed to vote, but I am heavily against this. The enacment of allowing even more profanity to enter the wiki unfiltered will completely battle any attemps to bring back old users and ruin our chances of bringing over new users. I want new users to feel welcomed to our community and old users to feel at home. Right now, I feel like we've all been thinking too much about the present, like we're the only people who are ever going to use this wiki. I don't know about you guys, but I think we all need to wake up and smell the coffee. POTCO, the game that our wiki was based on and what gave it the majority of its activity, has returned. We have so many opportunities that we just aren't taking, such as the hundreds of players that get on it each day, not to mention the thousands of pirates on the forums. If we want to bring our wiki back, we've got to make big changes, we've got to make it more family-friendly, we've gotta reattune it with POTCO and if we stay in this insane mindset of thinking that more profanity will make the community better, I don't see that happening.
I would like to see some evidence regarding your point that allowing links with swear words in them deters new users.
