Since the premise is to encourage productive discussion, the rules would be geared towards that first and foremost.
Example of what would be disallowed: "Fuck you, cunt!" (hurts discussion)
Example of what would be allowed: "The world can be a shitty place sometimes." (has no effect on discussion)
I would also be ok with disallowing swear words if it became easier and more practical to moderate that way. It may just be more simple to have a no swearing rule.
That's easily covered with a no personal insults rule.
I'm vehemently opposed to no-swearing rules in a social space for adults. It seems childish. That's my only opposition currently.
