In regard to that "they're just words" post:
I think racism is worse than foul language. Foul language can be used to a point where people don't find it detrimental or aimed at their race or background, and it tends to just fizzle out of peoples interest. On the other hand, racism targets those points, and is highly unacceptable when the words being used are meant to single out a person, or persons, in particular, and should definitely be filtered. As far as I'm concerned, racism should be filtered, no questions, but a filter for swear words should be up to a playerworld to take action on. Even here, on the forums, while the words '****' (F word) and '****' (C word for vagina) are censored, the words 'pissed' and 'ass / arse' aren't, which is acceptable in my opinion, while all racism is censored.

The problem with filters on a server is that with the number pad and symbols, aside from the letters making up the filtered word, there's always going to be ways to imply/replicate the word originally censored. I could put a word as simple as "duck" and given that it fit in with a conversation I was having, it would be obvious I meant the F word, and no one is about to censor the word 'duck'.
