The Language filter needs work and possibly even an option of turning it off altogether.
There are errors in the filter, one of which is that it does not even recognise spaces. Lets say for example you wanted to type 'On that map you will get less experience'. It will think you are typing sex and censor it. In all honesty, sex is not exactly a swear word anyway is it? Some people play Male and Female characters and you could be asking genuinely what sex they are in real life.
The filter does need work and I think people should even have the option of turning it off altogether. Filters like this can cause problems when trying to describe things, especially when they are not coded correctly. People will be playing from countries all around the world, and it's possible that a language filter could block normal things people would say in there native languages.
As far as bad language is concerned, all you would have to do is take a screenshot of something rude someone has said and send it into the GM's for said person to be disciplined if it gets out of hand.
I generally find 'Language Filters' an annoyance as they pretty much all seem to have bugs in them and at the same time it's wasting processing power (Even if only a small amount).
Please give some feedback on this as it is something that needs looking at anyway.
