  I have to ask - Googling has further infuriated me.

      But what does "sffcei" mean? <:)

        Nothing. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sffcei http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sffcei If UD doesn't have it, I'm convinced nobody has ever used the word to mean anything dirty.

        It's possible that they used a Bloom filter to compactly represent the list of banned words. This would allow them to share the filter without explicitly sending the list of banned words, so you'd never see a "foul-mouthed" network packet. But it could also return false positives for random strings, like perhaps "sffcei". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filters
