Do you mean, is it less Moderated or do we, the mere mortals, tolerate it more?

Re: Has swearing become more acceptable here on BE?
If it's the Moderated bit then that's possibly the main area all the mods differ. I swear like a trooper unfortunately although I am trying to curb it. As such I don't mind asterisks instead of the word unless it one which I have major issues with. Other mods don't like people swearing in real life and so have issues with anyone swearing on here and so they get edited.
I don't see the point of trying to get round the swear filter, everyone knows what the asterisks mean, doing stuff to get round is it is childish and pointless.
