I'm pretty sure the opposite of heaven is considered a swear word.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere. Before, it was the seven dirty words, which you probably all know and I won't post here. Right now, the filter seems to be set much farther down, given that you're censoring words like h-e-l-l and d-a-m-n (and even a-s-s, which I haven't heard used as a curse word since I was in the second grade), which were previously allowed. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but there should be a set of very specific criteria for what words are alright and what words are not. Otherwise it's just arbitrary, and nothing should ever be arbitrary.

Little did I know that there was a Wikipedia article on the seven dirty words.

Should be less stringent now.
You have to realize I'm planning for a future where the forum could be having idiots flooding in with each passing day going 'suck my fucking * *' and whatnot and moderators being unable to keep track of it all. This eliminates that possibility in the first place.

Ok, seriously? You censored jerk. j.e.r.k. I don't recall it being a dirty word in a dirty context in any possible situation.
Now I can't say I j.erked to a halt anymore... I seriously think that you should be less stringy.

I went over the list, again. There should not be anything to provide cause for complain anymore, at least as far as I can tell in my 4 AM state.

co-cked is censored. Why is co-cked censored? It makes it difficult to say something like "He cocked his head to align his eye with the sight, then cocked the rifle and fired."
