No, I didn't say anything about it not being in the rules in the swearing in chat thread. I only said the part about people needing things spelled out for them, and that was a comment on what I've seen of general behavior on the Internet, not that I personally need it spelled out for me. In fact most swearwords I've never even said out loud, and have only typed approximately twice when I was quite drunk and very close to doing something much more destructive than swearing. And furthermore, if you continue reading the part of my post you quoted, you'd find that I said quite specifically that I wasn't asking what's allowed, but rather I was simply curious about how the censors work since I only just discovered they exist. You might also notice that I only mentioned the rules because the post before mine had suggested that I read the rules. So I really don't appreciate being criticized for not being able to decide for myself what's appropriate when all I asked was what a piece of software does.
