Are there other words restricted like this and could the policy regarding this be changed in a less hypocrit one???

Ben, as I'm sure you're aware, this forum is made up of a VERY diverse group of people - we have members of many different cultures, belief systems, and individual personalities here. What we strive to do (usually with mixed results), is to make this place comfortable and informative for everyone.
The issue with the "bad" words, is that some people like to use them, and some people are offended by them. So, in order to try to keep both sides happy, we allow the words to be used by those who want to use them, but keep the ones who don't want to see them from seeing them.
It may look hypocritical, but I think you see just from this thread, how different we all are, and how difficult it can be to work with everyone peacefully.
