PG-13 is thus a sterner warning to parents, particularly when deciding which movies are not suitable for younger children. Parents, by the rating, are alerted to be very careful about the attendance of their under-teenage children. A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year-olds and younger to attend. If nudity is sexually oriented, the film will generally not be found in the PG-13 category. If violence is too rough or persistent, the film goes into the R (restricted) rating. A film's single use of one of the harsher sexually derived words, though only as an expletive, shall initially require the Rating Board to issue that film at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive must lead the Rating Board to issue a film an R rating, as must even one of these words used in a sexual context. These films can be rated less severely, however, if by a special vote, the Rating Board feels that a lesser rating would more responsibly reflect the opinion of American parents.

HOWEVER, this does bring up a point that the more 'mature' and prominent players should recongize, which is to stop turning a blind eye to many things like ppl using 'F**k' and racial or cultural slurs and alert the people in charge. Many forums and games have hot buttons to alert mods on inappropriate behavior, so maybe Glyph should strongly look into that (and Ryan for the boards as well).
As for the content directly, meh, most of these children do that just for the hell of it b/c they think its cool, normally b/c they have just added these vulgar words to their vocabulary. And besides, nearly off of them that you pointed out are inactive and should probably just be deleted.

HMW is one of the best modded boards around, most of the times overly so. where are the racial or religious slurs! this board is like a white picket fence for pete's sake. notice i used pete instead of god so as not to offend buddhists, confucians, muslims, jews, pagans etc...

How many of these guys actually stick around long enough to even make it to level 1?
