REJECTED gwt rid of swear filter

[Willsaber]

Because then you get into the situation of "what words should we ban outright" and false positives and filenames and all that. "Hell" isn't filtered, yet I'd be willing to bet there are people out there who think it should be. Can't please everyone.

The swear filter isn't meant to discourage swearing, either (because clearly, it doesn't work), it's as Vinny said - it's simply to make the site more accessible to a wider audience. I like Pedigree's idea of having a by-user toggle for it like we used to back in the IPB days, but it's not necessary, either.

Ah, okay. That makes sense to me.
