The reason the rule mainly exists is because it's a relic of the Wiki's earlier days.

We used to have a LOT of spam and trolling. When I because an admin, I put in place our first rules and swearing was one of them. Shortly after spamming and trolling dropped a lot.

The rule isn't needed nearly as much anymore and is being slowly faded out.
