The problem here is that even if we censor words, people can still find other ways to change words, or add symbols instead of actual letters. Also, if you censor too much, you could actually break the type set, So words like bass, would be b*** instead of being able to see the word. I've had this happen on different chat systems and it wasn't pretty. Well using the words like "feedge", "fudge", "frink", "flamingo" are better to use than the actual ""f word that ends with the letter "k". I mean how difficult is it for people to use "cleaner" words especially in wikis that don't allow swearing?
