Probably this could be a good strategy:

1. Don’t stop users posting stop words, but change them to \*\*\*\*\*.
2. Notify user he’s just received a penalty point for using bad words. One more such a point and his message will be hidden until reviewed by moderator.

**As a result:**

1. We try to educate, which is better than just preventing posting.
2. We discover user intention to write rude things earlier, compared to when we just prevent him sending a message, which will lead him to find a better way to spam.
