Unsure of How to Handle This

Hello,

I'm not sure how to handle this post. He's definitely using profanity, but he has added stars. Does that make it OK or not?

Hello Moderator,

Thank you for the question. :)

Really, when it comes to vulgar terms, if we don't allow a word - we don't allow a word. Whether it be self censored, such as this case, abbreviated, etc. So, the post would be in violation of our User Guidelines. I'll go ahead and take care of it.

If you have any further questions, please feel free. :)

Thanks,

Patrick
