I don't think those countermeasures are working because as of this moment, there's plenty of obvious naughty words being passed through in that chat window.

Neuralink will hopefully filter that out client side /s If your audience is more than a handful of people, what's the purpose of chat?
To get the handful of people to collaborate and hopefully bring their friends. It's currently at 160 and climbing, no longer a handful, so it seems to be working.

But then one asshole can denial of service your chat very easily
Yeah, shutting down to that specific browser fingerprint would be the better way. Sometimes, being able to recognize a user has it's benefits for good /s

From the earliest days of websites allowing text input from users, this has been a thing. The same with any website that allows you to draw things, it will quickly show people drawing crude (in content not skill) objects. This is just human nature.
