    On my extremely short-lived MB, I used word replacements to change swear words to phrases I imagine people would find incredibly lame and probably wouldn't want to have popping up in their posts. Why the FIDDLESTICKS don't you do that instead. That'd be better than some SQUIRRELy filter that removes all the DAGNABBIT words entirely.

    You had an MB, Unne? Crazy.

    Anyway, I agree with Carpie's idea.

    ok in all seriousness

    i think when people type obscenities in their posts and get it replaced with **** it tells them "hmm yeah that doesnt look very good, i just won't swear in my posts in the future." if it's replaced by then they go "WOW ING AWESOME I'LL SWEAR ALL THE ING TIME." but **** looks lame. and it makes it obvious that there was something there to begin with. whereas with you have no clue anything was there.

    at the very least, i'd like to have it all replaced by      or ____ so you can TELL that something was there

    but bleh, it looks as if you guys are already decided on the issue. it just seems to me that if someone sees **** they'll realise that they're not supposed to use that language anyway.

    I think the solution is for nobody to post swear words, actually.

    Well, that shut me up.

    Anyways, I can tell when people swear, so no worries.
