The problem here is that even if we censor words, people can still find other ways to change words, or add symbols instead of actual letters. Also, if you censor too much, you could actually break the type set, So words like bass, would be b*** instead of being able to see the word. I've had this happen on different chat systems and it wasn't pretty. I understand that could be a problem, and having mods ban people for saying them, but if they kick people from chat for saying the Pokemon "Cofagrigus" or something like that then it's ridiculous. We're only going to censor the racial slang and other words that are used for insulting purposes.

If we do have a censorship option on chats, it'd be sorta nice on a populated chat room. It would be helpful if we were allowed to censor these words to avoid conflict between chat moderators and other users. It's just a suggestion after a small nuisance in a wiki I go to.
