Just because the ones we have now are just plain ridiculous. Come on, poopy? buttocks? frick? We could at least have more modernized and popular subsitutes, because the filtering makes our sentences look that much more stupid.

I agree. The first time I saw that I couldn't even believe it. And honestly, why do we even have them? I can understand the frick thing but not really the others.

But it's so easy to break the censoring. Seriously, this isn't the Cartoon Network or the My Little Pony forums....We're mature people. We can handle it. It expressed our true feelings.

This is pretty much exactly right. As such, I think things are fine the way they are.

I'm pretty sure I curse far more than anybody here, and even I don't think the filters are unreasonable. If you're too lazy to bypass them, then you deserve to look ridiculous.

QFT, although I think I might curse more than you do.

I see it as juvenile handholding and an annoying way to get a not-very-good laugh. Oh, laugh of laughs, suck my rooster. You lose, noob. Despite the recent influx of stupidity into Random Chat (the only forum I have experience in--it's probably in the others, too), most of us are either adults or old enough to know the "dirty words."

But seriously, I agree with the OP. I think it's about time we changed the filtered words. For example, fuck can be branch, shit can be daydream, and fag can be awesome. Imagine the hilarity!

"Branch off, brancher."
"Quit daydreamtalking, brancher."
"You branching awesome."

I think the fiasco with me representing my site is a good example of when this can become troublesome. I couldn't even post the damn link because the censors kept censoring the name. And the ironic part was the censored version was actually a porn site. So much for "saving the little ones."
It certainly did make me look like a dumb fuck though, if that's mission accomplished. Not to mention risking me getting banned/infractions for posting inappropriate links.

I call that a serious edge case.

And, if I may ask.
What is your site, and what is the censored yet still bad, site?

My site is shittyart.net
I don't remember what it changed it to exactly. It's in one of the threads here where everyone laughed at my dilemna.
If you place modifiers in the link it breaks the link. The other site was surprisingly a porn site. Let's try it now!
http://www.poopy.net/
Ah, yes, ol reliable poopy.net, a site for classy scat-lovin gents. I don't suggest you enter.

Oh geez. Even links get 'censored'...
Makes sense, but it also has an unintended side effect. :/

But, if you insert a tag in the url...

[url=www.shittyart.net]This.[/url]

It's actually quite amazing.

But then the point of the [url] tag is made worthless. Because they have to copy and paste anyways.
The answer is to not use [url], and to simply state the domain with a tag to break the censor.

Sorry :/.
