I just feel like the use of swear words is not an issue in the chat - As Swaggins has mentioned, our regular chatters rarely use swear words anyway, and if an occasional troll comes in, he can be dealt with quite quickly. I hate to bring up freedom of speech, but I think that this is an issue that may bother some people that come to the chat, and feel "controlled" by a script. I have always been a firm believer in the notion that if you don't like what you see/hear, you don't have to look or listen. No one is forcing anyone to stay in the chat if they are really bothered by seeing an occasional swear word, or they are alarmed by an idiot trolling. I say if these aspects to a public chat are so bothersome, then maybe they are too young to be in there in the first place. There IS supposed to be an age restriction here, and that age range should be mature enough to shrug off some "bad" words, and not be scarred for life. I certainly don't agree with trolling, or harassing others but a script can't control that. People are just going to find ways around it anyway, and adding a script isn't a simple process either, if this wiki wants to ensure that the script is going to work on all platforms, browsers, and isn't going to glitch things up at any point, lots of testing should be done before just taking some script from another source and plopping it in here.
