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?
There's a distinct difference between using your moderator powers in order to make the board better and using them to further your own personal preference. As I said, that's not a very good staff policy.

Also, there's a big difference in posting, "that's bull" and "you smurfing smurf, smurf you you smurfing smurf smurfer." One is appropriate in a PG-13 enviroment, which is supposedly what EoFF is rated, the other is downright rude and has been a warnable-offence for as long as I can remember.

If EoFF is a PG-13 enviroment, we should be allowed to use PG-13 language. One sect of staff furthering their own interests by editting out swear words is an abuse of power.

Also, why is $h*t somehow more offensive than four skulls or whatever you use now?
