Swearing

I'd favor allowing asterisks or @#!$@#%^ as long as it contains more characters than the actual swear word (and it's not directed at anyone in particular).

IE:

What the ****?!
vs
What the **********?!

Seems to me like the latter version takes a bit of the sting out of it don't you think?

In any case though would not favor open swearing. While I have been stymied by the ban a few times myself I still think that not allowing it helps improve the overall level of forum discourse.
