It would make it harder for chat moderators to actually do what they're supposed to, especially since it will apparently just replace the foul language with spaces. What're we gonna do, tell the offender to stop firing off blank messages, despite not knowing the severity of the curse they used? Ban them for.. sending slurs that end up completely blanked-out anyway? It makes no sense. It'll be even harder to punish people for "trolling" the chat when anything they say cannot accurately be seen.

I think the idea overall is just ridiculously unnecessary on a wiki like this, where the chat is hardly populated in the first place. It'll render the chat moderators we currently have fairly useless. It's a chat moderator's job to punish people for severe language, not have a filter block it out and make it invisible to everyone, including said moderators.
