A long time ago, we had an automated language filtering system that prevented people from using certain words and that would kick people if they kept trying to use that word.

This filtering system was removed for some very good reasons, the most significant of which being the fact that it just didn't do its job. It was too easy to circumvent and so people just misspelled the blocked words to get around it.

It's very difficult, if not impossible, to make an automated filter that can block all recognizable misspellings of a word. It's even more difficult to do so without causing a lot of false positives.

In other words, your filter would very likely fail to accomplish any of its goals.

Consider this to be a very, very strong NO from me.

http://www.wordfocus.com/word/contains/cuck/ false positives would probably be very low, very few people use these words, and let the admins handle misspellings.

This is more of a deterrent then anything.

Well, it was a good idea backed by really shitty code and no thinking through it first, reject this i guess.
