I can kinda understand WHY I'm not allowed to have [CENSORED] in every sentance anymore. (Too many dawd dern kiddies in this forum.)
...But when the word filter COMPLETELY removes the sailorspeak from my sentances it can be rather annoying, As it leaves the post looking like it's ful of holes.
Example: MOTHER OF I HATE THEM GOD DAMN ENDER-S THEY ED UP MY AGAIN.
See? Isn't that just bloody stupid looking? Would it really be too much trouble to just replace every curse with *bleep* or pinkhearts instead of completely cutting it out?
Example: MOTHER OF ♥♥♥♥ I HATE THEM GOD ♥♥♥♥ ENDER-♥♥♥♥S THEY ♥♥♥♥ED UP MY ♥♥♥♥ AGAIN.

If they added the whole word to the profanity censor some words that aren't profane would be removed.

I believe that the filter actually should insert random symbols from the list <@#$%&/>, instead of just deleting the words. It seems simpler, hints at the presence of a swear word, and makes the sentences make sense.
The filter also could improve by replacing the swears with appropriate words that are equivalent to the swear, like using the word "creeper" for swear nouns.It would also work to advise against profanity to start with.

Don't want random removed words in your post? Don't use swear words. Doesn't get any easier then that.
I think it is nice we have chat filtering, because as this forum continues to grow, we are greeting some people who are fairly too young to know these words. Citriqsquid once made a post telling us about how he wants this to be a super friendly forum. I have to agree because we do not want little kids going to their parents and showing them bad content. This would just show bad reputation of the MC Forums, and may discourage people to create an account or look at the site.

Hmmf, Makes sense.
...I still don't like how sloppy it looks when the entire word is cut out. :c
