Swear Filter

Recently the swear filter was changed; previously it would repalce any curse words in chat with stars (**), now it has a more moral reminder for the person to be more conscientious.

While I don't mind the idea, the practice isn't very well executed. When you use foul language in your chat it replaces your entire chat entry (perhaps a well thought out sentence with some offensive language just for humour) to the conscientious reminder that, perhaps, you shouldn't curse anymore.

Personally I am not against the message - but rather I would prefer if instead of replacing all of your chat to the reminder it went back to censoring the content with stars (**), and sending the reminder to your hud message. The hud message, ofcourse, being the place where you get comments and information.

I've had a few complaints about it, and I just wanted to bring it to the attention of others to see their opinion.
