Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Why is that worth mentioning? |
To emphasize that I am used to limit the usage of profanity to speech when I'm in the mood for it, so I avoid profanity in written text. The only confrontation that I have had with this filter was in the Song Game or the Song Word game when I entered the title of that Lenny Kravitz song. |
You're just making it take longer to write your post for no reason.

Nowadays even young people use profanities (not that I'm applauding that) so I'm not sure what the purpose is here where most (not all) of us are at least semi-adults.
But it has its advantages. To be honest, when you add "f**k" to a sentence to make it sound more powerful, the "**" actually help highlight the word...

I don't really care about it, either way. On this forum I used to self censor anyway, before the auto censor was implemented. I go on another forum where pretty much anything goes, and it's not the freindliest of places, although it's mostly current affairs.
It's different here. People tend to be less 'sweary' about music..
I'm not offended by profanity, but I expect some people are, so it's probably a worthwhile policy to ensure that this is a place that can be enjoyed by all who come here.

Oh, well I don't think it really matters either way, an asterisk is an asterisk no matter if it was put in by you or a bot.

Optional.
Also, it's funny we have a swear filter and a banner for a band called f**k the Facts sprawled over the top of the page at times.

Going to try using a proper noun:
Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t
Will the correct name of this, sadly, no longer existent TV show be filtered?
