Line 11:
Not every troper who removes a few curse words is one of these, though. Sometimes vulgar words are gratuitously inserted into articles making them come off as immature. Removing such words when used inappropriately is encouraged on this wiki.
On the other hand, replacing them with asterisks or other symbols (or inserting symbols into a word so that it's more difficult to find in a web search, such as "s-e-x-y" instead of "sexy") is discouraged and a bannable offense if done repeatedly. This includes [[Censorware]], automated programs that do the censoring while editing and are just as undesirable as "symbol-substituting" Bowdlerising.
See [[Moral Guardians]], [[Culture Police]] and the [[Scunthorpe Problem]]. Compare [[This Trope Is Bleep]].
