[Suggestion] Option to Restrict Administrators to censor

Hi everyone, I'm posting here with another suggestion! :)

I'm here to suggest that you add an option on the censor to restrict the administrators to the censor, allowing them to talk freely without the possibility of the censor being activated as the Administrators are trusted and should not be an additional victim of the censor.

Thank you!

Here's my 2 cents:

Administrators add the words to the censor list - words they do not want used on their forum's.
Shouldn't they be held to the same standard they expect their members to be?     Otherwise it becomes  "Do as I say, not as I do"

Well with this added I find it quite easier for the Administrators to explain the censor and it's not likely for the Admin to misuse censored words when given the chance as most of the other members would.

If you have several things censored on your forum you could add something to your forum rules, or a post explaining the censor/how it works and the words that are censored.    I can't see SMF reworking the forum code to do this.

Okay, thanks for your help anyway I guess.
