The no swearing is something that has been in the process of slowly being phased out for awhile now. The list of words used to be much larger, and some people even argued that some of the words weren't swears.

The purpose of the rule goes back to the wiki's early days. I created it to reduce spamming and vandalism. However, this is not really needed now. So it's kinda like the wiki's tonsils. We don't need it, but it did and still kinda does have a purpose.
