I don't recollect seeing much, if any, of the f word or s word on bsdforums either.
The fact they are replaced with "****" on bsdforums might have something to do with that

I didn't enable the censor because there forums are not a kindergarten, and I am not a nanny ... IMO such a censor would be like treating people like little children.
We've all seen "Demolition man", yes?

Now, I am not completely naive and realized that there would be some people who do need to be treated like little children, but it would seem that there are more of these people that I first thought, or they're more disruptive than I first thought...

In any case, I may have to enable the censor after all if people can't behave ... For now I'll explicitly put it in the README that this kind of language is not acceptable and keep a close eye on things...
