While Rio makes an excellent point about how easy it is to get around the filter, I also think we're discussing much more than just the filter. The filter defines which words we do and don't allow. If a word isn't in the filter, then it's unreasonable to take any action unless the word is used to violate another policy. So it's not really just the easily bypassable emote letter we're talking about, it's what we consider to be appropriate and inappropriate. Except damn and hell aren't exactly considered profanity any more. I mean to some people they are, but they're so inoffensive I still like Ed's idea. If my mom knew that those words where being throwed out there on chat, I wouldn't be chatting anymore.
