You crack me up. :-)
But the idea of picking up on certain words has come up before. I'd need to decide which words, but lists are probably online. Then maybe one way to do it would be:
1. Flag those words during the posting process.
2. Let the poster go ahead and post if they want, since the bot wouldn't be taking into account the context.
3. But then go straight to blocking them (without giving them a PBC first) if in fact their post isn't civil.
What do you think?
