Cut-off/replacement Language

Out of pure curiosity, I want to ask: Is cut-off and/or replacement language allowed? I know implying swearing with full censorship is allowed to an extent.

At the very least, you need to bleep out the entire word — not just part of it.

Even still, there have been controversies in the past about Scratchers who bleep out the entire word. Things like "what the [bleep]“ might not be allowed depending on the context (and depending on the moderator).

To be safe, you'd probably just want to replace these words with something kid-friendly like ”dang“ or ”heck."

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I believe the rules regarding cesoring swears is that you can't make it possible to know what you're trying to say.

Yeah that was the plan, I wanted to know if cut off was allowed too.

If we are talking about swearing, then I don't think you should substitute a bad word at all, unless it's satirical, then you should probably use random symbols like #!?$@, like qbert
