What's up with the profanity filter?

Someone else reported this and didn't want to see the profanity at all. The current workaround is to turn off the chat bubbles in the Options.
I don't know if this is a confirmed bug, but report it, it can't hurt.
However to see $#@!!! over someone's head, just ask them to type just that, $#@!!!. Problem solved.

Its been that way for some time actually. Being one of few that use the filter, its not noticed by many, but thats just the way it works.

No, it's fairly recent. I can't say when it started, exactly, because I only noticed it when someone happened to cuss in front of me. But I know it used to @#$%^& out the chat bubbles as well.|

You know, the more I think about it, it has to be a recent bug. The profanity filter is one of the main parental controls that keep this a teen game. I can't imagine they would let this slide for too long, since all you have to do to bypass the parental controls is be visible by anyone else when cursing.

Lately-- can't say for sure if this showed up with I-16 or not-- the profanity filter only seems to work in the chat window, and not in actual chat bubbles. In the chat window, I'll get the appropriate <#$%^&!!!>, but in the chat bubble, I get the OFFENDING WORD.
Now, I'm not a particularly sensitive person; I'll sail through Tarantino films, etc. and what have you (although Boondock Saints is one film that can burn ya out), but I'm actually quite fond of cartoon cursing in the comic milieu. And when someone curses you out in PvP, it's that much funnier.
Anyway, it's a fairly immersion-breaking thing for me, as I'm quite used to, and fond of, the @#$%^&*!!!!'s over someone's head. Now, it's just kinda sad. I never knew how much more interesting my imagination was making people's rants...
