Update the Bad Words List

A simple 15 minute revision to the Bad Words list would help the game out a lot. The current list only blocks full swears/slurs but nobody ever spells them correctly anyways. It's easy to disrupt anyone's fun by spamming swears in a realm and nobody can do anything about it.
The toxicity of this game would go down a lot if the common abbreviations were blocked. Examples would be to add every swear without vowels, anywhere an i can be replaced with an L or vice versa, and whatever misspellings are commonly reported to support. If people find new ways to swear, add it to the list for the next update. Since any player can update their own list, I assume it's not much harder for the file to be updated for everyone.

Also there are some slurs which are not blocked at all which should probably be added.
(also, if we're going to update it- could we PLEASE bring back the old funny noises that played when you said a bad word? the flashing can go- but i remember the swearing thing / saying "bleep" being way funnier than it had any right being LOL)
