Taken from the forum rules:

#3 - Profanity and/or sexually explicit posts are unacceptable. Purposely posting profanity in a way as to avoid our filter will not be tolerated. In extreme cases, we may even file complaints with your ISP or hosting company.

Of course, if certain words are part of a longer word that is acceptable, as in Alfred Hitchc0ck, it is within reason you may replace one letter to allow the work to come through, and still be understandable.

The reasoning behind this rule is because this is a very public, and open forum, in which there is no age restriction. By enforcing this general rule, we keep young posters from being negatively influenced from people they don't even know in person.

What is classed as profanity? Darn? 'Donkey'? The stronger version of that? I'm sure that the F, B (the sword), C, and S words are out though.
