Nope, but it is harder to enforce than real swears.

It still means the same thing, and is recognized as the same - so ♥'s or ★'s are not going to make it any better.

Be nice.

Civility is required at all times; rudeness will not be tolerated. Treat others with the same respect you’d want them to treat you because we’re all here to learn, together. Be tolerant of others who may not know everything you know, and bring your sense of humor.

Please note that expletives are not allowed. If you use expletives on this site, you may be issued a warning or a suspension.


Also there are cases - were they can be used fine, Only because they happen to be the name of a file, or program, or part of a website title. Example:

can't run this shell script (get-sh1t-done)
