I know ethnic (racial) slurs are strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use, but it makes no mention of other kinds. It could be argued that slurs of other kinds are tolerable when not used in hate speech, and that it's up to the individual wiki to decide. I know Maria queued this issue for Wikia staff, but I'm not sure if she ever got a response back. In any case, I should think the rules of the chat apply here as well.
