The problem with word filtering is also that you're assuming
a) only english words are used
b) they are spelled correctly.
I will curb my juvenile desire to post examples (I am a mod after all) but word filtering is useless.
Even numbers can be used to spell words in 1337-5p3ak (leet speak aka elite-speak. used by nerds around the globe in an attempt to look cooler than the basement dwelling dorks they are).
Our approach to dealing with to first-offence spammers is to make sure there is no second offense.
Having more mods is not going to solve anything either, because we can't just be sitting here, looking at the screen, waiting until we get a report.
