Maybe it's just me, but when I see the stars filtering out a word my mind automatically works out the word being blocked. My suggestion is that instead of having the chat filter replace blocked words with stars, it could insert different words. If any of you have ever used the forums on woot.com, it would be similar to that. I think this could be both very comical and would be a better way of masking the profanities.

So instead of reading "**** you!" it would say "I love you!" or "Hug you!" or "Come here, you!". I'm sure the amazing developers could come up with some great word substitutions that would make us all laugh.
