Just because you saw one swear word doesn't mean that that specific comment was exactly offensive or dangerous towards a healthy community, and whether it was offensive or not can only be seen if you personally read the statement, which, as the moderator you really should be doing. Commenting on something you didn't know a lot about, and on top of that warning someone for offensive behavior he didn't really take is really out of the bounds.

I know enough about swear words to have a filter that detects them. If I didn't warn everyone who swore/used expletives, then I wouldn't be able to warn anyone at all. It would be a case of selective justice if that were the case. Or in other words, "Hey, how come he/she got to swear and I can't?"

Oh, silly Yuu-tan. I did direct the swear towards Drew, but I didn't describe Drew with a swear word. For example, if I said "Person X, you're a pile of shit that deserves to die" or something along those lines, then that would be offensive. How I used it is really just a form of joking around more than anything.

That was not in the criteria you mentioned above. An expletive can be in the form of a noun, a verb, an adjective, or a pronoun. All your conjectures are based of the assumption that I have full knowledge of your set of values and relationships, which I do not.

@Relationship: Well technically, everything someone thinks they know about a relationship is an assumption. I'm talking from my life experience here, and while it is minor, that's still my point of view, and you have the obligation to respect it. If you tell me your view on the topic, the thread will go more fluently.

I am not going to be subject to personal bias, but you are entitled to your own opinions. I cannot argue if a matter of personal opinion is at hand, as I do not seek to change or influence your opinions. If you are willing to provide objective sources that support your views, then I'd be happy to oblige.

I was only aware that you were typing messages to each other by the sheer volume of information you generated when I checked your recent Contributions log to confirm. I mean, you do like, check the Recent Activities page, right? You also straight up said "There's a max limit to threads, and you may be posting too much (taken out of context, but w/e)" at one point, right?

I check the Recent Activities, and the Activity log, among others. I posted to inform you that the thread may be getting too long, based on the amount of information that the page held, and by the number of posts compared to the average. I typed the "There's a max limit to threads..." to inform you that your experience may be cut short by the long loading times of the thread, and your eventually being unable to post.

And plus, like I just said, you can't really tell whether the content is "acceptable" or not without at least reading or skimming through the comments.

Content must be acceptable to the standards of Wikia. I uphold those standards. I read everything, but I pay more attention to the content of the conversation and the possible implications than the persons involved.

If you get personally involved and start relating to the topics, it'll be more efficient, but that's optional.

As a Moderator I only adopt Wikia's official position and the position of this Wiki. I take no personal side.

If you really thought something wrong would go just because of frequent swearing, and if you warned me without looking properly at the conversation, you're being irresponsible as a Discussions Moderator. Being serious about your job/responsibilities is one thing, but not knowing where to draw the line on is another.

I do not want to make it possible to give license to the swearing of others by giving license to your swearing. I know that the context was jocular in nature, but that doesn't detract from the use of the word. The rules should apply to everyone, otherwise none at all. If you want to be a positive contributor to this Wiki, you need to keep into consideration that your message can be misinterpreted and convoluted by people who want to circumvent the rules.
