This petition Is asking for a option to censor like putting a star in the place of a vowel in swear words as example, sh*t, b*st*rd , b*tch , f*uck, *ss , and whatever else is considered a bad word
The censors were added when we were afraid of losing ad revenue because of the amount of inappropriate stuff on the site. I don't think we're in danger of losing it now, but I don't think lucid would do this change just to be cautious.
