I myself don't care about profanity so my tendency would be to ignore it, not to ban it. Nevertheless, if it is to be banned, I certainly don't think words like "ass", "crap" or "damn" should be banned. So my suggestion would be to allow the more controversial ones, or simply align ourselves with ROBLOX. The forum policy could be something like this: "Profanity not allowed on ROBLOX is not allowed on this wiki's forums outside of an encyclopedic context. This does not apply to quotations or swear words not used as profanity, and words allowed on ROBLOX are allowed here as well." I agree. It'll be simpler to implement a policy that closely aligns itself with ROBLOX's profanity policy. What I would be afraid of is inconsistency between admins/instances regarding what words would slide through or not (Editor1 says crap on Monday and gets a verbal warning, while Editor2 might say crap on Thursday and gets no reprimand).
