Just keep in mind that any words directed towards another memeber/group can easily cross from the 'profaine' section in the the 'abusive' section, and thus be subject to Moderation (whether the words are sensored or not).

Some words are censored for a reason, so don't try to bypass it. 
As for the word "bastard", I guess it's ok to say it if you are not using it to attack another poster.

I've been noticing people are using the A-word more, as in "That game really kicks ass." Is this acceptable? I know it's NOT acceptable to call people an ass or an a-wordhole
If you use it up in Civ3, you will probably find your post "edited".

Hi!
Hmm, what about gratutious (spell) violence in the stories???
Most stories, based on games, do contain WARS. And wars can get messy.
For example, can there be "detailed descriptions" about an ancient swordsman getting his throat slashed, or a paratrooper getting shot in the head???

And be warned, when I ban people, it's at the extreme end. No puny 3-day bans for me, except when mitigating responses are received.
You've been warned.
Oh ****.

OK, well there's only two one letter words in the English language, "a" and "I". Therefore the message:
"******* *** ** * *****"
must be, by substitution, either:
"aaaaaaa aaa aa a aaaaa" or
"iiiiiii iii ii I iiiii"
That doesn't make sense. Perhaps it's not a simple substitution cipher. Anyone got a bombe handy?

It could be: "permban you in a flash"

That was especially confusing to me, since I use the Pale White style, and that text is the same colour as my background! I had to highlight the line to see what was there.
Now I'll be worried people are saying things about me and I can't see it.
They are doing that without having to resort to color; there is the private "Roast MadScot" forum.
Keep it clean, dear posters not for my sake (I am more skillful than almost any of you with 'choice' laguage) but for the Thuderfalls chosen atmosphere here. He want posters and parents to have few qualms about this site. I myself, find vulgarity, etc, most serious here when used in connection with other offenses, like trolling or flaming.

I actually figured it out ! It's not so hard really, just decipher the one-letter word and the two-letter word first, and then the three- and five-letter words become obvious
Now, seeing as I figured it out, do I get to chide Padma for his language ?

I can't believe Padma said that. Even in all asterix, that's just way out of character!!
Jack merchant is right, if you do it his way it is easy to figure out.
Shame, Padma
<ahem>
What you *think* I said is not necessarily what I was thinking when I typed it. And if I actually said what you think (I can come up with a couple phrases that fit that pattern), you are correct, in that it would be completely out of character for me.
In any case, this proves my point: "bleeping" a word or phrase doesn't disguise it. If you are going to use that kind of language, whether bleeped or not, I *will* censor you in the Civ3 forums.
