'''I do agree that serious profanity is not tolerated on forums as well. I've been part of other forums for a while now, and most of those have a lot of profanity. That being said, yes there are kids on these Geometry Dash forums, but we need to realize that once in a while, a word may be brought up that we disagree with. '''

Why I oppose profanity:

- Profanity is obscure language that is rude if directed towards an individual, place... Or even a thing (examples being: religion and etc). There is one matter that will always be true and that is that vulgar language is unacceptable and is rude.

- Profanity can be used indirectly. Even then, it's very serious and should be dealt with accordingly.

'''Why profanity can't be maintained on the internet. What can we do about it however?: '''

- We hear profanity once in a while. Us as individuals, cannot do anything about that. If someone says something such as the "f" word, we can't prevent them from saying it again. That doesn't mean it's unacceptable on a forum like this (because it is unacceptable), but like I said, it can't really be prevented.

- I'm part of a huge private server forum that takes strict action when there is huge doses of vulgar language. On that forum, there are infractions given out for repetitive vulgar language and harrassment. There are also people that are banned from the forums or in game for serious threats such as hacking or harassment.

My Suggestion (I don't know if I'm allowed to make a suggestion so go ahead and correct me if I'm not allowed to):

- On the other forum I'm on, we give out minor warnings first. Three infractions, and the person responsible for the wrongdoing is banned for three days. One more infractions after the third infraction, results in a seven day ban. One more infraction and the person is banned for 15 days. After that, any infraction that is associated with that person, will be ignored and they are t emporarily banned from both the forums and the game (in this case, just the forums) or permanently banned.
