In another place from the one you see it, this would be written "twat".
Sadly, one of two things is currently happening:
1: The administration of the website rigidly enforces censorship by blocking entire posts, or replacing all the letters of certain words with asterisks (*). Fortunately the tw@s have not got to the concept of censoring the other ways of writing that kind of $hit.

2: The writer of the word is far too sensitive and twee to write the word "twat".

There are other examples (such as cvnt, fvck, and $hit) of legitimate alternatives to words that are commonly used to emphasize something, etc.
I am so fed up of the ******* censoring that the **** at Yahoo makes on the forums.

$hit, the tw@ has done it again.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
