Hey Dave,
Thanks for the thoughtful responce.  The effort has been to fully enforce
incidents of cursing, regardless.  I've suggested a few times in enlisting more
people as 'Mods' for whom their sole purpose is seeking out ToU violations and
bringing them to Admin's attention.

The thing about a word filter is that it won't necessarily catch all incidents
of a curse word, in which case we are back to square one again: how do the
Admins deal with posts that break the ToU?  Direct post editting by Admins,
without user consent, is the easiest solution.
