Well, the censor itself is really easy to get around. So the effectiveness of the censoring depends on the mods enforcing it and restricting people who get around the censor.

well four letter words can be hard to decipher cause there's so many of them... also B-ch and p-sy got the same number of letters at five but they're sometimes interchangeable so it dont matter.

Yeah, but you can do f***, s***, c***, d***, and so on.
Of course, some perfectly innocent words get zapped, too.

I personally find **** to be more vulgar than anything it could possibly be covering up. It's like a sort of bolding.
