Creatively spelling words so that the filter will overlook them amounts to the same thing as using the word itself, and it demonstrates that the user:
A) knows the word shouldn't be used on the forum AND
B) doesn't care.
Please care. :)
Go ahead and use "comic strip" cursing if you like, by using random symbols like (*^&#%. But don't use them to represent the letters of a real curse word (using $ for s, # for h, etc). Using the word is using the word, no matter how much you |337 it.
We have had registered users on the boards that are as young as 12 years old. Would you want your 12 year old kid reading swear words?
Thanks!
