I had this idea earlier today, and thought I might put it out for everyone else to think about.

Pretty much, instead of whenever someone types in a word that will set off the swear filter, instead of having the 'censored' deal replace the word, have one of the many made up swear words that we tend to use be substituted instead? Like if someone typed in fuck, it'd be changed to krasst or frell, shit would be dren, and so on and so forth. I haven't come up with a list, pretty much just cause my time is limited and this move thing is wiping me out / aggravating the living crap out of me, so ya'll can start a list I suppose and just add on to it.

This is just a weird thought I had anyways, so if it's not really feasable, just let me know.

I think we should replace all instances of 'wtf' with 'Sacre bleu!'

We can't really replace individual swear words. There might be a hack to do it. But I think it's a matter of getting the posters to do the right thing on their own.
