It sends the text to the server, the server filters it, then its sent to the other players.
But that would only add lag, wouldn't it?
player->text->[clientside filter]->server->players
The text would be filtered before it even gets displayed to the other players.

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).
