I been in the music industry for 10 years and have produced quite a few tracks. I deal with many clubs, djays and so on. Alot of house / Trance,
If you plan on doing promotions perhaps some professionalism / curse filtering will give you a better rep in the industry. But heck what do I know I suceeded in the business without the foul language and been in it for many years covering NYC and Miami.
What you must understand when you create such a site members will leave and others will come. It is better to have quality members than crappy members for the sake of keeping members. Not saying your members are crappy, but letting members run around foul mouth is like a teenage romper room.
No one is saying you cant do that. But maybe you should create a privately group in a private forum out of the public view so it doesnt turn off alot of would be respectful clients and advertisers?
I reserve such a private section with no rules privelages for Elite donating members only.
You say "Bah" you will make enough from it without filtering the curses.
Ofcourse you may make some, it's your site to do as you wish.
Why not profit from everyone rather than the few. When it comes to sites, I like to make sure I get paid from all angles and the owner, staff and rules control the site.
Not the other way around.
