Have the client check to see if the string matches an in-game message,
and then store it that way. (Saves a little bandwidth, too.)
Of course, then they may complain that "a brass sign" doesn't get censored,
but "a brass signpost" does (assuming that the later is not an existing
admin-created string). Perhaps it would be better to have a dictionary
of "approved" words? (In fact, you could use this to cut down on bandwidth,
as well.) So "a brass sign" becomes the values 75, 37853, and 9871, while
"a brass signpost" is 75, 37853, and 10910. However, "a brass assmonkey"
becomes 75, 37853, and "assmonkey" (the last bit of which turns into
***monkey on everyone else's screen).
