So maybe I'll ask it a different way: Has Neal either added the "fully astericked" rule, or, has Neal empowered his Moderators to add new forum rules?

It falls under obscenities and foul speech part of the rules, which I already answered. People are not supposed to be using foul speech to begin with, even though we do have a filter. The filter is just a safe guard so that people don't have to read a long swear filled spew by some angry person, not a crutch to keep your written text clean. As I cannot tell if the filter did the ******** or you did it yourself, I have to treat both the same. This is how I interpret the rules, if Neal disagrees with my interpretation I am sure he will let me know.
Also FYI it would take 5 bad language infractions (unless they were extreme) in 10 days to earn a time out in the brig, and I am not waiting in the shadows rubbing my hands eagerly for the next person to pounce on. I am actually far happier when I do not have to do anything as a moderator. So I would not get too worried about this.
