Without restating the obvious since everyone else in this thread has already posted very relevant responses to your complaints on the profanity rule, I wanted to point out this part of the rules:

Rule #1 in our Forum Rules:

Quote:

Community: At Mac-Forums.com, we strive to provide a safe, comfortable atmosphere for members of any age, race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. Do not engage in personal bickering or flaming; remember to treat all posters how you would want to be treated. Lewd or offensive posts, signatures, or avatars are not permitted.

Also profanity is strictly prohibited. This includes the use of symbols or different spellings to try and mask it.

So I fail to see why you're surprised your were warned when you violated a very black and white, clear rule. There's not even any gray there.

As for why the rule exists, I think the first part of rule #1 as well as the other posters in this thread have answered that enough.
