    Maybe this sounds weird to you guys, but it's not what you think it is.
    The idea is small, simple and useful in my opinion.
    Recently, there was a global chat plugin added to the McBrawl servers. This plugin does a great job, in my opinion. But we need to give it another boost for cleaning up the chat. At the moment, there're many players saying sentences with '*' in it instead of a bad word. I'm not sure if the plugin does this or the player itself. But, the meaning of their sentences remains. We've removed the bad words in the chat, now it's time to remove the bad meanings.
    It is very simple.
    If the chat plugin changes the bad words to '*', we need to change that so the player doesn't have access to say this. The player will be told he may not type this and his sentence doesn't show up in the chat.
    If the players are typing bad words with '*' in it by themselves, we need to disallow them typing with '*' in it. Same as above, the player will be told he doesn't have access to type this and his sentence doesn't show up in the chat.
    I think this idea will give an extra boost for cleaning up the McBrawl chat.

    I don't really like this idea. This will try to make players do even MORE things to evade the filter, and frankly that's not something I want to see happen.

    This is just getting rid of 1 problem then creating a new one, now you can't say it all in chat.
    Besides, what are you going to do next, ban hyphens?
    My point is that there is almost always an alternate.

    some people do something like this
    they accidentally say "I fibished my [WHATEVER THEY FINISHED]"
    then say "*finished
    This is just an example

    I do this all the time, I shouldn't get blocked by the filter for correcting what I said.
