'hello' - ban (obviously)
'h*llo' - ban?
'*****' - ban?
Is it ok to include a swear if it is self-censored, and to what degree?
I ask not because I plan on insulting people, but because some methods of self-censoring are still considered 'swears' by some and not others, and I'd rather know than be caught out by accident. Sticky is locked or I'd have asked there.

There's no need to swear.
The 'clean' English language covers all our needs.
