But 1 per a long post does not seem inadequate enough to warn/punish.
Yes, if it's direction at a person "you f-" or such it should be pretty automatic. But using it to illustrate opinion "f- no" or "f- yes" or "f-ing useless" should be something the moderators could tolerate as I'm sure majority of the rest certainly would.

wholeheartedly agree. i'd also like to point out that when you log into the mortalonline.com website, you're asked to verify your age. to me that's a clear indication that these are meant to be adult forums, and anyone here who isn't an adult probably shouldn't be here.
if profanity is directed towards someone, then i agree that it should be dealt with (if the "victim" feels it needs be), as that constitutes verbal harassment which should not be tolerated. if the profanity is not directed at anyone, however, there is no reason it needs to be removed any more than it would need to be removed from an R rated movie.
