I've already stated my opinion on this, which is no. While it's not enormously necessary to include quotes in captions, if we do include them (a decision for the person making the page, really), we should quote the line directly from the movie, not modify it to make it wrong by throwing in random wingdings. Writing "f*ck" looks childish and no actor has ever said "fstarck" in a movie.
Apart from anything else, our readers will presumably be old enough to see the movie in question and hear the actual line, so it's not like there's any point pretending it isn't there. I can see arguments for censoring nudity in screencaps to keep the site safe for work (and thus it's probably a good idea to add a rule to the rules and standards page saying we don't do X / NC-17 / unrated porn movies, because you know someone's going to try it sooner or later), but I'd argue overt censorship of language and starring out words looks less professional than just having the lines as they are.
