ES,

I don't remember if I knew you as a fellow admin (it's been 10 years I've been inactive, and my memory is hazy.  Busy coding). I was with LW when we were lyricwiki.org, and I can tell from your edit history that you were, too. I remember the tough decision Sean Colombo had to make to move to Wikia. I think all the admins more or less agreed but thought it was a damn shame. But we couldn't make deals with copyright holders.

If this has something to do with censorship, maybe there's a technical solution to postprocess the HTML and apply some kind of CSS effect to blur out the words. They'd still be in the source, though, and that's probably a dealbreaker, since it's probably what Fandom is searching. This might not be the right place to talk about this, but hit me up on my wall if you want to continue this discussion.

This seems especially stupid because I remember having those templates for explicit lyrics that had the picture of the industry label that got attached to the front of CD's. People who want the censored version - knock yourself out. But ultimately, though I don't know the details, you can't f-- censor ART (I'm talking about Fandom here). If the lyrics have profanity, then including them is factual content.

Anyway, looks like you have been working hard for the last decade or however long. Thanks for all your hard work. I certainly know how much work it can be to corral cats. Lucky our other admins were such cool people to work with.
