I always figured it’d be funny to replace people’s swears automatically on the
server. So if someone swore, their text would quickly get turned into something
a bit tamer. Something like:
s/freaking/buttermilk buscuit/gi
s/bullpoop/muffin/gi
That way you’d get people saying things like:
“Well, what kind of buttermilk buscuit moron doesn’t know what ‘buttermilk
buscuit’ really means? I love the backpedalling into euphemisms...
My advice: say what you buttermilk buscuit mean and leave the muffin at the
door!”
Not that I’d actually advocate doing it, but it’d teach people quickly to stop
swearing (or more likely would teach them to find backdoors and swear in
nonconventional manners).
