In a comment, a user used the &%@# symbols to "hide" the swear word:

wont that F@£% up my Laptop –  t01vO 15 mins ago

My reply was:

No, why would it? Also, please try to use appropriate language - mess up would be fine?

Especially this instance, where it was obvious what the word was, I disliked it. I personally don't like so see a reputable site (We're not ubuntu forums) with bad language on it - even if it is 'Hidden'.

Is it acceptable for people to use grawlixes anywhere on the site - i.e. Questions/Answers/Comments or Meta, Chat, Profiles or similar.
