It's been blocking words ever since it started 10 or however many years ago. Fúck has been changed to lego for years. The Web admin can change the words if they want to.
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

Was done that way since at least Tony Cannings captaincy, and as far as I remember since phpBB was installed first! There's always been that substitution. The original phrase is stored in the db, and replaced on each generation of the page.

When I was Web admin, I saw no reason to change it, and the various captains also though it was okay. Easy to change, but it's nice sometimes not to read the swear words! :-D
