IMHO,
It would take a huge amount of processing power to analyze the text of every
single post. THat's why human brains do it here, not computers.
And what happens when you analyze this sentence:
I was trying to finish it, but the earthquake smashed the bricks.
One of the 7 words is in that sentence, with a space in the middle of it, so you
can't use a wildcard for pattern recognition. And what if you miss a form of the
word (such as the "miniF$#$%%" in the original post) when you try to compile a
'complete' list of unacceptable words?
Though I don't know if it is technially possible, a better way to handle these
situations would be to grant the original poster access to the message somehow,
even if after the fact.
