[INVALID]Suggestion: Server warning for avoiding the filter.

So recently with lots of people joining the server, I've witnessed many players avoiding the filter. It might just be censoring out one letter, or a whole word, but I've seen far too many people get away with it. Maybe a server response to people avoiding the filter would help, of course it might wind up being abused. It would be something along the lines "Player, please do not avoid the filter (censor out swears)." I'm not sure if this is over-the-top or not. Vote people! And if you don't support this idea, please post why below. Thankies.

I think it would be too difficult to make without the server becoming overly picky about swearing. People would be getting banned all over the place without intending to swear... For example, I know a guy who has "facktor" as part of his Minecraft username... If I said his name in chat with this system, Helpy would probably yell at me for avoiding the filter :S

I think it has to be up to us to police people trying to avoid the filter. Only a real person can see whether it's just a coincidence or if somebody's really trying to get around the filter.

Making it so it picks up people trying to avoid the filter is exactly the same as expanding the filter... it won't stop people from avoiding the filter, they will just have to be more creative while Intelli constantly adds in new detectable phrases.

Screenshot. Ban request. Done.

If the filter is expanded, then it might be tripped by commonly used words such as dig or ship.
