That's changed slightly in the most recent versions of UO. As part of the
localization efforts, a number of static messages are stored on the client,
and the server just tells the client the number of the message to
display. I almost always have the filter off, and don't know of any cases
where it could trigger the filter to test out, so it may or may not be
applied to these messages. However, the client does know these messages
have content that was admin generated. Turning the filter off (if it isn't
already) would be possible.
The problem with "a brass sign" is that it's the default for something that
is going to be (almost always) changed by a player. Here it would be extra
work, and potentially even more of a bother than at first glance, as simply
keeping track of if it had been changed wouldn't be enough. You'd get at
least a couple players who'd change it back to "a brass sign", and then
complain that their name gets filtered while their friend's doesn't.
