I don't see what the problem is. Its not live we've banned anyone for going around the swear filter. Swearing makes Leeza (and probably at least some other people) uncomfortable, and she has the power to fix it. Is it a terrible thing that your swear word may change to skulls in order to make a very nice and helpful person more comfortable?

I see it like this:

Most staff members don't particularly care if people say an occasional swear word. Most of us don't change the word. Because only one staffer really enforces it I see it as less of a problem than if all or most of us did, because there's less censoring going on.

I think... a couple of times I've censored people's post because their language made me uncomfortable. And what's wrong with it? Isn't it worth the small sacrifice if it makes someone more comfortable? Yes, we still know what the skulls mean, but that mean's you haven't actually sacrificed anything, and at the same time allowed someone to be more comfortable.

By the way, Proto, smooth move naming names in the very first post after Raist typed all that without putting Leeza on the spot. Very classy.
