Default Censoring

I was thinking about this the other night, and figured that some threads with swearing would perhaps make a little more sense if instead of leaving blank spaces swear words left something like ****. Some sentences wouldn't take a second read or two in order to work out what someone's on about.
Just a suggestion, Thanks.

This has been asked before and the reasons given, a quick seach should find the posts.

The easiest solution is of course, taking the time to communicate effectively without littering a post with banned or swear words.

Well said. We're all adults, surely we can communicate without swearing. If you're angry, say so, but without swearing.
