Why isn't "b***h" censored? I can type in the word b***h and it isn't censored.

Probably because it's a valid term for a female canine and only a thin-skinned whineass could truly be hurt by it.

We really don't have a very long list in the filter.

I think most (but certainly not all) people who find refraining from swearing a burden, usually have a rather limited vocabulary to start with, hence their range of swearwords is similarly tiny.

Generally, people are here to get along with one another, and gratuitous cursing just isn't that common. Most of our membership seems happy with that.

We try to keep the atmosphere reasonably cordial, "safe for work" and "safe for school". Preferably, even, maybe, to coin a phrase: "safe for nursery". There are certainly other sites where none of that applies.
