I think we need them.
I mean, Proboards has some standards we need to adhere to, to be allowed to stay here, doesn't it? If people start wandering in here from non-ProBoards sources, they might not know what is and isn't allowed, and think anything goes. Much as I'd enjoy an anything-goes roleplay (preferably involving John Hart), this probably isn't the place to be doing it.
I would suggest stealing the rules from Whoniverse! and putting them here, for now at least. We can always adjust them to our personal tastes later, if needed.
---
Edit: Swearing.
I just read the "objectionable content" part of the terms-of-service again, and there is no actual "PG-13" rule on ProBoards itself, seems the official rules are more of an under-18s level (and I know a 13-year-old who could make Jack Harkness blush with her swearing, anyway)... so I'd like to suggest that we allow the milder swear-words (hell, damn, bloody... adds to the British-TV-show feel, if you ask me) but still generally discourage foul language as a whole.

Me use bad language? Pah, bad language is for people who don't know proper English, they don't have the grasp to be able to say something without a stream of F-Bombs coming out of their mouth.

I agree... but sometimes swearing is a valid form of communication... usually only when you're in pain or really really surprised... and even then, I try to avoid the big ones. And/or use fictional ones (I can insult people fluently in Huttese... and whatever language they use on Farscape when they're not speaking English).
I actually make a hobby out of knowing multi-lingual swear-words... rarely use them, but still.
