Hello everyone.

This thread is going to be about that  left on my talk page, which is proposing a fairly major change to the chat.

Essentially, what this message is proposing is as follows:

Some JavaScript would be introduced to the wiki which replaces certain specified words or phrases with certain other words or phrases. This JS (which can be found here) would be applied to censor profane language in the chat. The purpose of this filter would be to prevent trolls and other bad-faith users from spamming chat with profanity.

Feel free to discuss whether you think this change would be a good idea or not below, but please remember to explain the reasoning behind your opinion! Very short answers like "no" or "why not" can be helpful to determine how many people (dis)agree with the proposal, but well-reasoned arguments (especially from experienced users) will likely be given more weight when a decision is actually being made.
