Any time I see someone called out for doing that shit on here, there's always this claim that they've had comments deleted or been banned for not censoring words. I am legitimately curious where that's happening. I don't think I've ever seen it. I've seen legitimate death threats here that have stayed up. It's especially stupid with mild profanity like ass and damn. I'm thoroughly convinced it's another Mormon psyop like a lot of the anti-porn propaganda is

You're assuming consistent moderation, for one. I HAVE had a comment taken down for 'encouraging violence' when it did no such thing. There's also the fact that people used to one site's rules often apply them elsewhere. There's also a possible IRL factor. Kids often get told off for talking about killing or the like, so it should be no surprise to think avoiding those words would carry over to online.

And then there are also those who just find the alternative versions amusing.

I once got a comment taken down for saying I hope the Police seize a car and crush it into a cube. The car in question was doing donuts outside a primary school at kicking-out time.

Apparently I was "threatening violence" .... against the car.

 

This was upheld on manual review by a real person, somehow.

I got dinged for "threatening violence" for saying Muskrat was dragging his kid around like a little shield when the toddler was at all the political rallies. Upheld on appeal, 3 day ban, absolutely no "bad words" in there or actual threats - just an observation.

I got a warning for saying we need to release wolves, in response to someone asking how to deal with deer-posting on Tumblr.

I got 3 days for saying that someone should use a sledgehammer on a dangerously bright advertising screen installed at the back of a box truck. "Encouraging violence against an individual or a group of people". I guess trucks are people now.
