    If you are talking about the complaint that was just dismissed, as stated in Section 4, Clause 2-Vulgarity, self-censorship of a swear word is allowed.

    Clause 2 - Vulgarity
    • Inappropriate and vulgar language is not allowed. This includes anything put on signs, said in chat, written in books, renamed to on items (see Section 3 Clause 2.1), spelt out in blocks, or any other way of communicating.
      • Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (ie. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user.
    • Repeated or excessive swearing, and especially vulgar language directed at anyone, is not tolerated under any circumstance.
    • Racist language or prejudicial language of any sort falls under the vulgarity rule, and is considered a very serious offence, punishment of which may not warrant a warning before being given.

    Although if you are talking about something else please post a complaint with evidence, since swearing without censoring is not allowed.

    Ok thanks for the reply. Seems odd that leaving one letter out is ok though. Eh.
