Just a thought... there was a CS server that I played on exclusively (cool clan, almost always an admin there, and lots of regulars, like Holdout's) that responded when people said certain things. Not sure if it would prevent people from saying it, but for example, when someone said "wtf" the server would respond "You died, stupid." To this very day I love responding to people that same way. If I kill someone, they say wtf, I say "well, you died, smart guy." Anyway, just using that premise, perhaps certain words or acronyms that don't seem offensive enough to filter out could have responses that make people look bad. Or just filter it... I don't like stfu, just because it is in an acronym form doesn't mean the person isn't saying it. I don't even like it when someone tells me to shutup, let alone with that passion. Not to mention the only people I ever see using stfu are newbs or non-regulars that tell us to shut up when we tell them not to be obnoxious by breaking rules, or they are just being pains in the ass. I don't think wtf should be filtered, because it's never directed AT someone.
