This seems like a clbuttic mistake.

It even "fixes" URLs for you...

Could the word filter be .. adjusted a bit? I think we're all adults around here.

What is a **** either way? (yes I actually had to look it up. No need to explain, thanks).
+1. the filter is just silly. BTW, it also filters some random number counts, just because it looks like obsolete's nokia's dev Id number, that wasn't meant to be shared (by some authoritative rule, not any real legal reason).

It seems like legacy of forum being managed by Reggie, who tried to be more holy than pope. As far as I'm concerned, swear filter can go away, completely - abusive language is a subject for moderators, not to mention that anyone can bypass the filter by methods presented above. Instead of trying to fix thing broken by design, let's just ditch it.
