I used a different approach for my swear filter. Instead of replacing swear words, I ban a user from the chat for 7 minutes! It makes people a lot more careful what they type…

Well that would have to be server controlled. But maybe that could be smart thing to do, have a small list of the common worse words, so the server doesn’t have to do a lot of checking. Then have the client filter the rest of the words.
Well nothing’s perfect. It wouldn’t also censor ass if it would be first or last word (assuming that no-one writes space in the beginning or the end of the sentence) what it would probably be in short comments. To get perfectly rid of swear words you must write artificial intelligence which compares to human IQ above about 70 on mensa scale. I think that would be pretty hard to accomplish. :-\

lol, wut?
Yes, compared to over 70 on the richter scale.
what about adding “punition” in addition to the swear filter ?
like on a chat if someone use one or more badword he will have to wait (be kicked) one minute to send another post if he send another badword then he must wait 2min a third 4min, 8min, 16min etc…
and on a forum : 1h, 2h , 4h , 8h, etc…
without mentionning the sanctionned word, it will be fastly boring to try to hack such filter, no ?
EDIT :
I just see that was mentionned earlier, increasing the ban length can improve this a little

That was odd text from me.
Humm… I could correct that text but I’ll rather humiliate myself and won’t do it. :-*
I agree with Markus_Persson
Because I for one, hate swear filters, its just childish
its asssssss
Sorry, I didn’t mean to ridicule. I just got thrown off by the mention of a mensa scale. =D
mensa only ‘rates’ in percentile, in my experience.
lower threshold is 0.98, max is 1.00-(1/6.5B), are you can’t be smarter than yourself.
This is way off topic, but:
Mensa does proper IQ tests. The problem is that there are (at least) three different scales, and that the average has gone up slightly over the years. The criteria for getting in is to be tested to be in the top 2 percent in any acceptable test.
I did the mensa specific test. I got a piece of paper saying how many questions I got right and what this meant in IQ score according to some scale. It didn’t say my percentile, but I assume it’s 98’th or better since I got in. 
Short story: They measure IQ points, but since there are different scales, the definition of getting in is to be in the top 2 percentl.
<…offtopic…>
I didn’t mean to say Mensa didn’t do proper IQ tests, just that they don’t (directly) ‘rate’ you that way, as you said.
The percentile won’t change, as a 98th percentile means that you belong to the top 2% of the world, regardless of absolute IQ score (which indeed slowly increases, due to experience in IQ-tests, me thinks).
IIRC:
98th p = IQ of 132+
99th p = IQ of 144+
So you’re probably 99th p 
Ontopic:
fuck!
Survival of the fittest!
On the other hand, education levels are declining.

I know, I just wanted to clarify. It didn’t come out right. =)
[quote=“Riven,post:32,topic:33430”]
99.8th, last I checked. 
[quote=“Riven,post:32,topic:33430”]
fuck!
Smart ass.
According to [color=#BBCCDD]http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/IQtable.aspx I got 99.7th[/color]?!
I’m still trying to find a way to make this dual ego-trip seem like it is an honest ontopic post… ???
None taken
What I kind of meant with that text was that AI should be little bit smarter than idiot who is not cabable to find ass or fuck inside a string “afeafwassgkoegojefuck” or so. Luckily I do not need to explain this anymore because of your high IQ
