I'm not saying this in a disrespectful way, but I can't see that censorship has much of an effect on the amount of users that swear on this site? Most users on here are pretty good in that regard and don't swear anyway, and the ones that aren't just bypass the censor completely by simply putting full stops/spaces/commas between their letters. Wouldn't it just be easier to uncensor everything and just punish the tiny minority that go too far?
As far as I see it, the point of censorship is to discourage people from swearing at each other and thus starting flame wars. If you think it's silly to censor words, I'll counter that with a: It's silly that you miss those words. You do not need them.
My argument is not that I miss the words, but since the minority who actually do swear, use master cunning to bypass the censors, what is the point? For the rest of us who never swear anyway, it is not an issue and all it does is hinder us from writing words like Dickens, cockpit etc.
damn if you saw the real word youd ove look it so they do it for imbarsesment to the person if the stars offend you when i did it just now i was just making a point
