No way to apply autoasterisking to subject lines?
Because people just don't *know*. I might have guessed about the synonym for kitten (although maybe not, since it was a play on words), but it wouldn't have occurred to me in a million years about b*lls. Seems quite a sensible and acceptable euphemism to me.
I liked the curse word rule a lot better once you added autoasterisking, because then it was more likely to be an intentional override. But if you can't apply it to subject lines, I think you should just give a heads up, not a PBC, unless it's the f- word or something like that. (Yes, I know you see a PBC as a heads up, but there's a distinction to posters I think.)
JMHO.
