That being said, on really high traffic groups that are unmoderated (and my that I mean that they're not reviewed on a message by message basis like this one is) it is very easy for something to slip through.
That is certainly true, but while not commenting on whether a Profanity Stopper might or might not be useful or practicable, and accepting that responsibility for what children can see is in the first instance down to parents, I still don't think that group owners and moderators can slope shoulders and deny any responsibility for maintaining proper conduct of their group's members; while they won't be able to stop individuals
originating inappropriate material they
are in a postion to do something about it, even if that something has to be
after something nasty has been sent out and either spotted by themselves or on the basis of a complaint from another member or several.
It is worth remembering that "profanity" is but one of a number of things that are not allowed under the Terms of Service, and as yet no AI is going to stop
them!
At the risk of repeating myself from my previous post IMHO owners and moderators
have to be the first line of defence against inappropriate material being posted, and that must apply even on unmoderated groups.
