The Chinese (and, if I understand it correctly, Japanese) ellipsis has 6 dots,
or at least pedantically it still does. So, yes, it would be good to
see this (i.e.,
ellipses that are not three dots) respected one way or another, irrespective
of whether conventions for obscured content exist or not.

The 'net used to be run by smart people; now many sites are run by
idiots. So SAD... (Sites that do spam filtering on mails sent to the
abuse contact need to be cut off the net...)
