The intention is the same, and, as a family-friendly forum, it is inappropriate - as stated earlier, re-occurrence of this behaviour may invoke infractions.
Link to CF T&Cs - the above behaviour is covered in Section 3, para 4, and you may also wish to review Section 3, para 6.....

I think you're missing the point, the intention was not the same, the intention of it was as an ellipssis, a polite refrain from actual bad language that other users have used to describe the SH among other things. There was no intention of using any word to invoke a swear filter or use asterisks to imitate it, the point was to blankly quote other people's words that
do not invoke the swear filter. I didn't even know or care that there
was a swear filter.
Section 3 para 4 refers to "excessive and unnecessary use of bad language." An ellipsis is not bad language.
Nevertheless, next time I'll use the exact same language as other people have been using on this same "family-friendly forum", such as "poo" "bull excreta", "butt-gravy", "crap" and "steaming pile of fecal matter, freshly vomited on." - if you somehow think that's more appropriate than an ellipsis.
As for reviewing section three, para 6, I distinctly remember last two times I PM'd you regarding site rules/moderation you ignored my message and never replied. Aside from that I do not see a statement of fact - that you've misunderstood my intentions on both occasions - as an argument. Regardless, I'm leaving this at that as clearly I'm going to get nowhere, I'm wrong nomatter what my intentions were and I cannot discuss it in PM with you because you don't answer them.
