If someone curses but censors one letter should I flag it?

I saw someone in a comment who said the B word but replaced 1 letter with a *. Does this count as cursing and if so what should I do about it if anything?

So let me be clear. Hell and a Damn are not swearing.

Pretty much everything else is. Swearing is generally fine, but if it bugs you multiple times from one user ask them to stop on their wall. If they don't, tell a moderator.

If someone is repeatedly swearing and attacking you with it, write it up on the ban report.

According to the rules, swearing is fine since this site is generally 13+, however some more stronger swear words are censored and should not be used repeatedly. The occasional curse is fine, though.

Also, we would also prefer not to see 15 different swear words in one sentence. Assuming the words become censored, the sentence could become:

** this ** ** for ** up the ** of my ** and **
** ** for ** sake.

Yeah. I think I've explained enough. :3

Hope I helped. :)
