The sentiment that I've gotten is that the original posters are (mostly) for it, but they're vastly outnumbered by the newer arrivals who hate it. I think that's what a poll would find.
I think the best solution would for it be an account option. Most forums I've dealt with have a profanity filter that is on by default and can be turned off, it works similarly to this. If we could just get a little box that turns off all the filtering (because, really, I can handle seeing the word "*****" in a thread) that would be perfect. Those who want the filters get them, those who don't, don't.
Also, I still find it funny that with the tagline "We feature more signal, less noise!" we have this ridiculously noisy filter on.
