I know of at least two "slurs" that are used in a vastly different, casual context depending on the area a person is from. Also, what if the word is within another? That will be blocked out too and you'll have punished someone for potentially using a harmless word.

Also, "if you haven't noticed" and "let me refresh your memory"? I can do without the condescending bull in your "counter-arguments", thanks.


 * I think that any kind of racist/sexist/homophobic slur can still be offensive no matter what context it's used in, it's also not very welcome in the chat. Even if it used in a good intentioned manner the user who used the slur will still receive a warning.
 * The Chat Moderators aren't dumb. They can see if the filter blocks a word accidentally. For an example, an user says something like:
 * Guys, I just f[blank] this cool looking tr[blank].
 * (Translation: Guys, I just found this cool looking tree.)


 * Any Moderator in their right mind can see that the filter made a mistake.
