Guys you may think you are in a adult world, but when something is called a game.... well, it does have appeal to the kiddies too.

Therefore, stomping on a few toes for profanity on these forums... hopefully everyone will get the message.

Hate to leap in here, but a little clarification would be handy so we don't get ourselves in trouble. What exactly counts as a swearword? I assume the worst words are filtered by the forum, whereas some users 'asterisk' their own swears on occasion. So for example, assuming 'hello' in this case is a swear:

'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.
