Swear Filter option.

Is it possible to implement an optional swear filter, so only people who have it turned on will see stars. :\/

If you want to pay for obscenities, there are people you can hire for that sort of thing.

That'll give people the option to see things that were filtered that aren't swearwords. *that* music crowd being one, along with the nimp stuff.

You could just write a firefox plugin which sees ***** and attempts to match to closest swearword based on context (noun, verb, adverb, etc). Although thats probably overkill are most swearwords are interchangable.

I'm pretty sure you can customise it for certain words.
