Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

Fuck Shit Stack

To answer your question. They don't like that stuff.

EDIT Having instances censor stuff for you is bad. Users censor themselves is fine.

I have a habit born out of having young kids around of cartoonizing more expressive language that leaks over into online conversations. There might be a bit of that going on along side the more censorship style responses put out elsewhere.
