What's the policy on profanities?
I think there should be some magic behind the scenes making humourous alterations to any attempts to use naughty words. I have never had the need or the urge myself but I'm sure others have. It may be censorship and PM is not exactly a childerens sites but I have noticed many people on PM that take offence quite easily. Might also save the moderators some time.
Anyway for demonstration purposes here we go.

ahem

For example 'Tough shit' to 'Tough beans'
'bastard' to 'bar steward'
'dick' to 'thick'
'crap' to 'MS'

Also to be paranoid on PM's behalf you guys should get a disclaimer page and a conditions of use page for your own protection. We would all despair if evil legals shut PM down. Bureaucracy is everywhere.
