Not all swear words are censored. Words that are censored include "sex," "prick," "dick," "vag," "nuts," "balls," "ass," "butt hole" (but when combined together: -blam!-), "titties," "tits," and "boobs". None of them can be used in civil discussion, yet they're not censored. Cry about it.
Also, Achronos has voiced his opinion on this several times:

The profanity filter is not intended to catch every possible variation of your average troll's weak attempts at real profanity. Rather, it enforces a general tone that, if violated, should be reported and dealt with as the moderators see fit.
Censorship is not the aim, forcing you to form a thought without basic playground profanity is.

Okay, as long as you guys promise to act like intelligent adults.
Of course, if you promise that, you'd be liars.
"Mature 17+" describes the content of the game, not the maturity level of those that partake of that content. Witness 25 year olds on Xbox Live acting like spoiled children if things don't go their way.

I don't think that there should be a -blam!- filter.
While the Bungie games don't use curse words, Halo is a mature rated game and its community should be treated as a +17 community.
