look, I was there when Stefan added it, I know how it works, when a player chats it sends the text to the server, it's always been that way, the server then sends the text to the other players which makes it appear over their heads. It sends the text to the server, the server filters it, then its sent to the other players.
Deek mistakenly used the phrase "word filter engine" to describe his hypothetical clientside word filtration script. He's arguin that if it filters it clientside before it's even sent to the server, that it would be better, or something. I'm not quite sure.

Regardless, in his version, I do believe he is mistaken - it'd still send the swear-filled text to the server, but would send replacement text shortly after that (When the next .05 timeout executed, presumably).
