Without knowing exactly how often admins are dealing with rule 4 or general language violations but a GENERAL, VAGUE AND POSSIBLY WRONG SO DON'T TAKE AS GOSPEL observation can be made that:
- Most people can enjoy and play the game without needing a filter to clean up for them.
- Those who can't to the point where they'd need a filter system to not be banned might also find that they just genuinely did not fit the community as it is.
Filters are funny, but they're also funny: Building a system that produces results for what is otherwise rule-breaking behaviour I would suspect encourages people to then test the fences to find:
- Other fun filters
Or more likely
- Words that are not filtered, or ways to say words that aren't filtered.
In essence, you create a game out of rulebreaking. That seems like an idea that we might come to regret.
Lastly, I can't see bans or ban appeals, but I can see admin feedback and even there it's pretty apparent that a not-insignificant amount of people leaving "feedback" at least are struggling to comprehend the very, very clear and direct rules about language. Raising that bar even in jest seems like more work.
But I say this all when I don't really know how often this comes up. Maybe it's actually not a huge issue.
