Description
This might turn into a feature request (which I know belong in the wiki), but I'm hoping this already exists somewhere. Is there a module that will filter offensive words, either with stars or replacement text, in Chat Room's "Chat"s? I have Wordfilter installed but it doesn't appear to have any effect on Chats, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if there is something else I can try? I'm guessing that Chats aren't run though the traditional input filters, the way text is at node creation?
Thanks in advance.

chatroom_chat_update in chatroomread.php passes the message through check_plain(strip_tags(urldecode($_POST['chatroomMsg'])))
It could be more Drupal-like if the messages were actually put in the database as-is, and using the (caching) drupal filter system when presenting the messages back to the user. Chatrooms could have a configurable input format, like other text entry forms in eg nodes. This way, chats could instantly benefit from eg bbcode formatting, word filters, smilies, urlifying, etc.

this is how the 6.x.2 branch works, but i'm not really interested in back-porting to the 5 branch. i'd be happy to help someone else take that on, however.
please change this back to active if someone wants to try to backport.
