Simple explicit filters like that always snag up tons of random innocent users too. The important and hard problem of content moderation is you need to understand the context of the comment/post and that includes cultural context which means it's an even more difficult problem than simply comprehending the language which is a near hard AI problem on it's own.

This has been going on for months now, in some channels. This is something that pg's 2002 Bayesian filter would very easily catch. http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html
