Censor

    Could you please either remove the censor, or enforce it?
    It is annoying seeing people say @$$ and fuck and similar things, much worse than seeing the proper words themself.
    Indeed why do you bother to censor at all if this is allowed, nay encouraged by moderators following this lead?

    Do you know how many variations of swear words that would encompass, in short too many. By the time most people learn how to use these workarounds, they usually know its frowned upon and just don't bother unless absolutely necessary (which is never kids, don't follow my lead).

    As far as I gather the censor isn't really to protect the little kiddies from hearing naughty words but to get the people to perhaps use other, more appropriate words instead in their posts i.e. use a bit of imagination and more vocabulary. If they want to say those bold words enough to actually use UBB tags to get past the censor then I say just let them. I mean if they want to say the word that bad then they probably can't come up with a more appropriate word anyway

    Almost everyone avoids the censor by using l33t and ubb codes.

    Sometimes a good swear is essential in my opinion. If I swear on here, it's cos that's the way I talk... not cos I can't think of a better word!!
