    VBF Swear Filter

    Instead of replacing **** with **** or any other profanity with asterisks, how bout replacing them with "polite" terms?

    **** = frumple
    **** = shazzam

    (any other words?)

    I don't think thats a good idea.
    I myself hate it when sites change my words, and would rather prefer the ****s

    Just my opinion...

    We did that on the message board on our company intranet...changing "c**t" to "ladies' parts"

    unfortunately the replacement is just a character, rather like the PasswordChar property in VB
