I would like to think that people are sensible enough to use them at the right times. As long as they are not over-used or are not flaming someone/used offensively, then I don't see a problem with someone using one occasionally, and if appropriate.
I actually saw some forum once that had a user swear option. You could opt to censor swear words or not as part of your user CP. I wonder if it's going to be a vBulletin 3 thing.
And like Fax, I always wondered why swear words were deemed as such ... who decided it was an offensive word and who didn't. Because for each swear word, there is a word that means the same thing basically, but it's not a swear word.

I've just joined another forum that has the option per user to use the censor. I think it's great, as anyone who wishes to not see such things can switch it off.
I had mine set to swear, by the way
It's not a vBulletin 3 thingy, though. But it'd be very simple to add.
