This still happens? Long ago the British town of Scunthorpe decided that it should have a web page.

It took them a while before they worked out why their efforts to set one up ran into apparently insuperable obstacles, and longer to persuade the powers that be to let them appear online.
Good, I'd hate for my children to be subjected to any use of "thorpe". In this God-fearing house we call them villages or hamlets.

Maybe a milder version of the word could be substituted. in my opinion, if you're quoting someone, the word should not be replaced.
Your two sentences contradict each other. Please pick one.
Just when I had gotten over this 😋
I guess I should choose my battles more wisely.
Well what prompted my OP was sending a PM quoting someone who used the word f’ing and it was replaced with damned.
Do I have to pick only one? I suppose it doesn't really matter since I shouldn't be using that word anyway.
If I had to pick one, I'd say use the actual word when quoting someone, but I have no idea what all you may go through as an admin or moderator if this were the case. I'm just going to back down and accept things the way they are.
