The swearing rule is put into effect because the wiki is meant to be a place that is safe for everyone to view. Not everyone likes to see swears, regardless if they're 13+, so it's kind and courteous to them to just not use vulgar language. Mild swears are allowed on the wiki, but I'm assuming you used a pretty explicit one, which wouldn't be allowed.

The ban you received is only 5 hours, which isn't bad at all. Just patiently wait out your ban and then you can rejoin the chat, but don't swear in the chat or your ban will be reapplied and extended, which is easily avoidable. I know the rule seems dumb to you, but it really keeps the wiki a professional place for all age groups and the staff went over our new chat rules yesterday and we all agreed to keep that rule in so changing it won't happen.
