That wouldn't stop people typing l i k e  t h i s, or t*h*i*s or ASCII swearwords. Besides, you'll never keep up with all the different ways of using letters to come up with nasty words, or swearing in foreign languages, or highly offensive phrases that don't use swearwords, or any combination of the above or or or...

Using a word list (and listing all the bad words you can think of) is not the right way to go. It's pointless to try and keep up with the amount of cr*p people can spew out; it'll always overtake you in the end. Aim to filter out most of it, and leave the rest to real people.
