Hmm, I remember Unholy Nation having this, and so did Zodiac. It wasn't the best to be honest. It was abused quite a lot and flooded RC, as when users found out that staff were notified on RC they took advantage of it.

But I guess if logs were logged in a file, that could work.

Things have changed...my filter just said like, "maybe you shouldn't use <insert bad word>" when you tried to type it. It was a quick and temporary solution to widespread racism that actually lasted a while. Doubt it's there now.

My last method involved being able to add a filter to abusive players. Basically, you were free to say whatever unless you've been found to be extremely harassing/abusive in which case you got this wicked filter added. It didn't let you say much and it had an auto-timer to it.
