Riordan Wiki:Profanity

The Camp Half-Blood series is intended for young adults (generally between the ages of 8 to 12). As such, profanity is not something that is tolerated on this site. With young readers and users visiting, profanity shouldn't be something that can be viewed by people that aren't ready for that kind of language.

Be Rational
Profanity isn't something that needs to be typed out in order to get your point across, most of the time causing the reverse effect. Any point you are trying to make can be expressed without the use of profanity.

Blogs, Talk Pages, and Chat
As already stated in the Blog and Chat policies, profanity isn't allowed. Also, any user can visit a talk page, whether it be the talk page of a user or the talk page for an article. By sending a message to another user on talk pages, blogs, or on chat, you are allowing other users to see it as well, even if a user didn't intend for others to see it.

Keep it PG

 * Not in the books, not on the site: As stated above, this is a series intended for young adults. If you can't find a particular piece of profanity in the books, it isn't allowed on this site.
 * Self Censoring: This isn't television, so the person that needs to monitor what you type is you. Simply not typing profanity is the best option.
 * Put a **** in it: Some users feel that simply replacing a letter or two of a word with some other letter or symbol (including *, @, or $) is enough to get a pass...It isn't. Once again this isn't television, meaning there isn't going to be a Bleep sound effect when a user types something. Simply removing one letter from the word won't hide what word you were intending to use. Either bleep out the entire word or don't use it at all.
 * I don't understand: As shown by our many other language affiliates, there are several users on Wikia that can understand more than one language. Simply using profanity in another language does not mean that it is fine to use. While not everyone can understand another language, all it takes is a quick web search or a translation site to see what a user said (or the reverse, with a user looking up words in another language to use). This is generally the first impulse of anyone when they come across a word or phrase they don't understand.

Things that Can be Considered Profanity
Some words can have multiple meanings depending on the context. For example:
 * Ass can refer to a donkey or the buttock. It is not however a word that should be used to address another user.
 * Rape while not generally a word used to describe profanity, can be a word that upsets younger readers. While there are stories of the gods forcing themselves onto unwilling partners, on pages try to censor it down or work around it (Ex. saying two beings had relations).
 * Damn and Crap is generally fine, just as long as it isn't being used to insult another user.
