Filters on this level can have some terrible consiquences down the line.
And it might be that some people will go to ahelp and it turned out to be a mentor thing, but since a "word" like "RULE" was in there.... they got the "send to ahelp" message.
This will also have terrible consiquences for people who aren't profecient in the English langauge. Or have dyslexia and use similiar spelled words to the ban list.
These are things I generally HATE about filters in game, since the more aggresive the filter... the more likely it will filter part of a word and tell you , you can't say it.
Example with swear filters: ASS.
Class type in game: Assassin.
When you mention the class: *******in.
So personally I am against filtering phrazes and words to give an automated response or be blocked with mentoring. If anything... it's a mentoring moment to tell them: "This is an admin issue, please refer to admins."
Filters don't check context after all.
