Perhaps there should be a separate category, accessible only on request, where posters can insult and swear at each other to their heart's content without risk of upsetting anyone else or getting a whole thread shut down? You know - if you don't like it, stay out?
Some of it is automated because it picks up swear words right away. I know because I innocently used the words s l a g me off and the first word appeared as three little stars.
