I think:

"Cussing is allowed, but don't overdo it, and don't use them to be abusive to other users".

I feel like this is self-explanitory, but here are examples:

"Oh, shit, I deleted my whole userpage." <--- That's okay because it's not at anyone in particular.

"You, sir, are a fucking piece of garabge." <--- That's NOT okay because it's insulting and the user is obviously not joking in any way.

There was also an issue of users saying things like "Fuck you, then" or "STFU" when one person was joking but the other took it seriously. Some people have different forms of humour, so I would just apologize and stay away from it altogether, especially if I know that the person can't take that kind of joke.

The whole thing was grossly exaggerated and some users should've been a little kinder (even me since I didn't really explain anything to him, but just joked around). This wiki has been invaded with enough people hating it, we do not need anymore.

Thank you, Ailo, for shedding light on this by asking the whole wiki.
