Please also put this on the wiki!

Do you have a suggestion here? I agree that "controversial" may be 
vague, but I'm not really sure how to tighten it.

Also, narrowing the definition too much may make it difficult later on 
if someone comes up with a "controversial" use we didn't think of. If 
nothing else, the 15 years I've been online have impressed upon me the 
ability of people to be offensive in new and inventive ways.

Best,
