I'm not commentating on the specific one that the OP was talking about, but in general mods will change words if the person is trying to get around the swear filter by various means, so we will change it so that the alternative word appears.
The site is run to be family friendly, and if you want to swear lots there are plenty of other places where you can vent your frustration but it is part of this sites character, and people like the friendly banter they can have on here.
I must admit I find the daffodil one particularly funny (and we do notice that some people don't even invoke the swear filter but use the word directly).

I think it was the other place but I used a very mildy impolite word that got substituted for <rude word removed> making my post appear far ruder than leaving the original post uncensored
They're a bit over zealous over there which presents particular difficulties for legitimate discussion of saddles and comfort unless you are going to sound like a prim parent talking to a toddler.
That said, gratuoitous swearing or offensive terms are unecessary and lazy, and can discourage this from being a friendly and "inclusive" (cliche alert) place. Personal or argumentative posts are probably a worse problem than (within reason) bad language.
The mods get it pretty much right I think. If we had complete free speech this would soon degenerate leaving only a very narrow residue of contributers left doing little more than. swearing at each other.
The ignore feature is pretty good too, though I do tend to relent periodically, something lacking in the other place.

Not only does "shite" sound better, but it gets through. And therefore reserved for very special occasions

Whatever you do, don't mention daffodils and Welshmen in the same sentence.

Look at 'em! Daffodils - every one of 'em. (Not the bods looking out the window, BTW. They're probably nobbers).
