Question on Swearing

[Coda A27]

It's censored out, but I wonder why? Everyone uses special symbols to get around it so it's not as if it's meant to keep cursing off of the forums; it seems more like a law that no one listens to. Can't say ****, but you can say fvck. I don't understand the purpose of it when the intent of cursing is allowed and is plainly understood?

With the trick maybe you can still spell "Charles Dickens.

No joke, the filter is stupid. I mean, it won't even let you say kazaa!
