I've been browsing and tinkering with our abuse filters after one of our regular users was accidentally caught up by one this week, and wanted to discuss a few things with you about them.

Filter 1 was created by you years ago. It's purpose is lost to time it seems, as the link in the description to the external forum discussion making it necessary is long since dead. I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to the edits that trip the filter, all of which in the last year seem to have been good faith edits by active, trustworthy users of the site. Is there something I'm missing in the code to explain what trips it? Is it even serving a purpose at this point? If not, I feel like we can deactivate it for now.

Filter 2 is our profanity filter, which is the filter that got me looking at these. We only have one word in that filter, and while it's working, I wanted to add a few other choice words to the filter for posterity. I'm just not sure how I would need to format the code of the filter. Any chance you can help with that?
