How does Jesus and Christ count as a profanity word?
I suggest to add them in the whitelist. With the word Christ restricted we can't say Christmas in the chat.

ok whitelisted now

"christmas"

and i just asked not to hide the words into textings :)

(i think Jesus & Christ as a cursing hurts people with related religion that might be the reason)

I feel It is more optimal to break the string up (by spaces) into an array of strings, and look for the profane words in the the array rather than in the original string, because the filter function right now does not discriminate "loser" being used as a word or letters in a word.

But then again
1. it can take a month to make a profanity filter from scratch, also days to find and try any existing - so it is not easy
