I just noticed that when I typed a post with a mildly risque word that it got **** out? I'll admit it's rare that I use swear words in posts but in this occasion it was in context and I'm sure I've seen them here before. Is this recent innovation?

The funny thing is that those of us raised using British English always spell arse as (obviously) arse... Being lazy, I'd used the word "a s s", which got bleeped out!! It appears I'm still free to talk about having the ****s however as long as it doesn't involve donkeys!!!

Strange indeed....
