We do allow certain swearing words over here but please to the necessary "***" to avoid any major problem. However, it doesn't mean that you can swear all the time, my best advice is to avoid it at all costs.
The Terms of Use says:
You must not use inappropriate language; this includes referencing, hinting at, linking, abbreviating or anything else that may cause offense to others. We allow certain swear words, but they must be kept within reason. Explicit mentions of sex, drugs and violence are strictly forbidden. If you feel the use of a certain word or phrase is needed then blocking out all potentially offensive parts with *’s essential.Anyway, if you follow the TOU(Terms of Use) you'll be fine. Also, at the bottom of every page you have a link to the TOU, check it to give you a better idea of the rules. Have a nice day.

To add on to what canana said, there are a few exceptions. Once in a while you can use minor swear words in phrases (ex. There is a snowball's chance in hell that Gears of War will be ported to the PS3). Its all right to use these phrases once in a while, but if every other post includes these words, the moderators will have their eye on you. Also, if you use swearing to insult another user you can expect harsh punishments, so its best to avoid using swear words on the forums.
