As much as I generally want people to feel welcome and comfortable...
SS-13 is assuredly not child-friendly. Even Goon, which strives to be far less alienating than most (thankfully). And people being awful is handled by bans and not chat filters.
But there's a reason there's a minimum age.
Casual swearing is just something you have to learn to deal with in reality, even if you don't like it. And if mild naughty words are beyond the pale, SS-13 in general is probably not ever going to be safe for you.
You can blow someone's ass off with a grenade and wear their severed butt cheeks as a hat, as a trophy of your crushing victory. Someone saying 'ass' kinda feels like the least of all problems. Foul-mouthed advertisements and slugs abound. You can very unclassily throw pitchers of urine at people. The halls are filled with vomit. You will get farted on by mice.
Goon is very r00d.
And as Mouse pointed out, the things you can do with surgery are a warcrime simulator.
It does no harm to anything if someone makes it. We already have text searching and highlighting functionality in the chat. So maybe something could hook into that. Maybe have an option to turn the highlight into redacted-blocks-of-colour. It just feels like it's an issue local coders, who almost by definition have been around Goon for a while and accepted the silly rudeness of fartgame, probably won't be lining up to solve.
But you never know, I suppose!
