  What are the rules defining the use of profanity on WordPress?

  Can I use curse words in my blog ? Or will my blog be marked mature?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In terms of profanity you can say any goddam fucking thing you want, thank Jesus Tapdancing Christ on a butt-fucking donkey.

  As @RC has demonstrated above, rough language can be used, however not all visitors like a lot of profane language so you could reduce your potential visitors.

  Being marked Mature is not the end of the world, just means your blog will not appear in the Reader using global tags, but anyone can still subscribe to your blog using the Reader

  You won’t be marked Mature just for using profanity. You WILL if you write erotica.

  Thank you for the clarification. I was going to use a curse word to thank you, but I thought it would be rude , not clever.
