I've just removed a post that had c*&t in the title. I'm not going to get into specific rules, but I don't want that language in post titles. In comments etc in context, fine. But post titles are displayed to all users without the possibility of being filtered.

Please think of others when posting.

It's a slippery slope. Most of the communities don't have rules with the sidebar issue we talked about. If you don't define it, then it's as if it doesn't exist. New future members won't see this post.

I've added this rule to the one sidebar I can edit:

Make post titles descriptive with no swear words. Comments are a free for all using the above rules as a guide.

I second this. Be pedantic and specific. I'm still pretty new here and would like to know what's acceptable before upsetting people. Let it be known though, that I'm still not used to the multitudes of different frameworks in different instances and the apps that access them that are popping up, so even if it's in sidebar, there's a very good chance I won't see it because I'm absolutely never sure what instance or community/magazine/sub-instance I'm posting to or used to think about about it yet at all - it's just: read, respond, repeat.

I want to be appropriate and follow rules, but I think a lot of this stuff is gonna have to be tested organically and it's better to have it written out explicitly beforehand. Don't assume anything is intuitive or common knowledge.
