>If you are banning words, then, yes, you should be able to list them. Otherwise, how do you ban them?

This sounds comical to me :) Who is going to construct this list, and pass judgement on what is bannable? Should we post this list for all to see (even more comical :) "The following words will not be tolerated..." Can you imagine the list? ROFLMAO!

Since that is unappealing, you can try to do it more subtly without a list, by auto-searching posts for banned words, but you end up in the dilemma eBay Chatboards found themselves, which I described previously, and is an extreme mess. I will review it if you like...
