Then your thread takes the wrong position lol. It isn't arguing that that section of the rules needs to be updated to be in line with the new filter option. The thread is more arguing that now that you can turn off the filter that you should be able to collect offences for swearing. XD
And by the way: no matter what the rules say or don't say, Jagex has never been strict in following them the way they are written. You can successfully appeal offences in contradiction to the rules and you can fail miserably in an appeal explaining how the rules plainly permit it 100%. And there are other additions to the rules, like the forum topic permitting you to say the name of certain fansites. I don't think there is something in the advertising rule that mentions the stipulations of that topic or links to it or anything - or at least there wasn't. But I recall despite RSBANDB deemed a safe site if you said Runewire in the RSBANDB clan chat, there would always be someone there to report you and there would always be a Jagex Staff to mute you and there would always be an appeal person to deny your appeal. They probably still mute for saying Runewire, and I have 3 offences and 3 denied appeals that explain Runewire is a service of rsbandb and I won't "learn from that" and stop saying Runewire because the fansite topic plainly says that it's okay to say it.
But I find it funny that Jagex is promoting context or something like that, since context is something they have absolutely no grasp of at all, judging by what they will mute you for and the appeals they will deny.

The whole notion of someone telling someone else what should be considered offensive is another story. (Or, as Shane and Chief would say, "a topic for another show" )
So then there are three options: punish everyone for speaking, don't consider anything offensive at all, or consider it within a reasonable person.
It is very popular to teach children "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me" so I don't think a reasonable person should get offended over ancient taboos.
