Yes, more prohibitions on even mild "adult" language remind me of that.
>Being "real" is not a primary goal.
This is good information; it sets easy to understand limits on what is wanted here.....such as input being important, but only in a certain format. Function follows form. (I'm not hassling you here. It is fine with me if these are the rules, and it is excellent to have them in clear language.)

I couldn't possibly ignore a request that so appeals to my sense of balance and fair play. And I'd hate to think that my 'weighing in' on one side of a policy or the other generates some sense that I am attacking you or not trusting your judgment. I hope I am expressing my opinion in a nonaggressive manner, even if I have a different take on the topic from yours.
