    Evening all!

    How do you feel about allowing swearing in your blogs comments?

    Do you allow it, or disallow it?

    If you don't curse in your post, then you shouldn't allow it on comments.

    It really depends on your audience.

    Depends on the blog and audience. General rule of thumb: The tolerance level you have for your commenters should match your posts. Ie, don't say "no swearing" when you're curing a storm in your blog post.

    I'm generally against sweating in comments. However, under certain circumstances I would turn a blind eye on it. That is if blog is very new and has very few comments, and it's one curse word in a comment that is used to make a point rather than offend somebody, and depending on how offensive the word is, etc.
    Generally, allowing this type of behavior is not a good practice.
