Profanity filter should be toggle-able client side #424

Very much related to #242, If you agree assign it to me (set to 1.5), If not just close it.

If you want to laugh check http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55835-Kmp-0-22-wip-alpha?p=800049&viewfull=1#post800049

@PhonicUK went to pains to ensure the profanity filter would be visible to the chat-sender and controlled server-side. I'm not incredibly averse to changing it, but I don't see any reason to--if a server wants to enforce profanity filtering they should be able to, so any solution that allows the client to see their own chat unfiltered would involve a kludgey solution and would mean they wouldn't necessarily realize they're being filtered.

There's already a way to change this setting on the server-side, and I tend to imagine that anyone who keeps the filter on probably doesn't want that particular gucking forum poster cluttering up their chat anyway, regardless of whether they can see they're own swearing or not. That poster is still free to play on unfiltered servers if the filter offends them so much, so on the balance I don't think it's worth changing anything here.

A client-side profanity filter could be added in addition to the server-side filter, but as @TehGimp said - half of it is about giving control of the filter to the server admin.

Ok makes sense to me.
