i'm a bit confused about the "excessive profanity" bit

No posting of copyrighted materials or other illegal content is allowed. Any posts containing illegal content or copyrighted materials will be deleted.

Does this mean if you come in and say hey check out this cool youtube video and it's from an official channel it will get deleted?

It means that you should refrain from swearing in the forum, but that a mild swear word like for instance "crap" or "damn" will be ignored.

If you are uncertain about sharing a YouTube video, please read YouTube's rules for this. Generally speaking, any video that has an activated Share-button can be shared freely, but there are certain exceptions. Linking to a video from commercial TV shows or movies is advised against unless you know with absolute certainty that it hasn't been illegally uploaded.

Both those rules were in effect before the update as I'm sure you both know very well 'cuz you read them and all ;)

In fact the rule on profanity was NO  profanity. So we made that one more lenient 'cuz someone saying "fuck" once isn't that big of a deal - the site is intended for users over the age of 18 after all. Having said that, I think it's pretty clear when someone exercises use of excessive profanity.

As for the copyright rule, Ulvhild explained it very well (I didn't even know about the share button thing!).

Actually it seems unclear. You can share a lot of youtube videos but that doesn't mean anything in terms of copyrighted material.
However I'm saying going to an official Youtube Channel like let's say, Halsey's Official channel and post a video that would be considered posting copyrighted material here. Are you limiting content you post to only content you've made yourself?

Haha no I don't make Youtube content. :D
The way I see it, sharing music videos and memes and vlogs is okay. Sharing the Youtube link to an entire episode of Game of Thrones or a whole pirated movie is not. Sharing an online pdf of the Player's Handbook is not allowed 'cuz WotC don't hand them out freely and don't sell official pdfs. Sharing someone's art is okay so long as you give them credit. 

I hope that clears things up a bit :)

Most of that is common sense but still the rule is vague or needs to be rewritten. It says copyrighted material not pirated copyrighted material.

A full episode of GoT is copyrighted material, but maybe HBO puts one episode on youtube for free, it's coming from an official channel but would still be against the rules.

However, if someone pirates the copy of GoT and puts it up, then that is a no brainer because it's pirated copyrighted material.

Also when I said "Are you limiting content you post to only content you've made yourself" I don't mean literally we can only post content that you, Alexstrasza, have made.
I mean,"is it limited to content the user has made themselves?" which wouldn't be copyrighted.
