Hey Stella,
You already pointed at the answer to your question yourself:
It is our objective to keep the written language swearing-free on wikiloops (that includes titles, track descriptions, tags, comments etc), but the audio is excluded from this for two reasons:
1st Lyrics shouldn't be "censored" in any way* IMO (please see footnote),
2nd Search engines will not listen to music, but they will read track titles and text.
I believe we all benefit of wikiloops appearance in other musicians search results, and I wouldn't want to hazard that by letting wikiloops appear like an adult content site to search engines.
Should you stumble across tracks which are crossing the line,
please do point me towards those so we can take action to pevent arguments like "he did it so why can I not?".
Hope that answers the question :)
* Edit:
To clarify: "shouldn't be censored in any way" as long as they are compliant with our terms of use.
Any calls to violence, hate speech, racism, religious offense and such can and will not be tolerated, since such content would contradict the purpose of wikiloops. The freedom to express your opinion does not include the right to assault or threaten anyone verbally. Peace yall.
