I just thought of a great idea.
Is it possible to filter words that are written on signs?
Some people think that they can get away using profanity by putting them on signs.
Earlier this week, I heard someone mention in chat that a player put a "swear word" onto a sign close to the Nether Portal.
I think that these people are taking advantage of signs and are getting away with abusing the rules.
I know that some players in Minerealm are children, and their parents probably don't want them to know that a "swear word" was on a sign in a server that's supposed to be "child-friendly".
Therefore, I am suggesting an idea that might make the server a bit more "child-friendly" than before.
I think that Minerealm should implement a way to filter words that are written on signs so:
1. No one will be offended
2. Children won't have to see what's written on these signs
3. Abusive players won't get away with using profanity on signs
4. Staff don't waste their time into removing signs
I'm not very good at coding, so I'm not sure if this will be easy or hard coding, but I hope that this idea will help the server.

I believe this would be fairly simple to implement, I think that the Xbox 360 minecraft has something like this where if a sign has inappropriate words it displays "Censored" instead.

The funny thing about swears on signs... it is children that place them. Filtering the signs is not going to protect them from a word they already know. Rather its a matter of saying we do not want to see your smut here.

Well it won't protect the person who placed the sign but it could protect any passerby's that see the sign from learning inappropriate language from our family-friendly server.
