Should optimize checks with a de-obfuscation function (attempt to expand non-AZ back to AZ, even if that then shoots permutations at banned word-runs).

It should probably also look more like a spam scoring system, where really obvious stuff is hard-trashed but borderline things are flagged for review / discussion.

I am also very disturbed that, as with most censorship, 'obviously bad' things such as terrorism/etc are co-mingled with 'is adult' as a negative check.

It seems reasonable for Twitch to have validated 'safe for minors' areas where names are filtered. Generic areas, where things are in the gray area and unchecked. Adult Only areas, where swears, profanity, maybe even some of the hateful things are allowed. Informed consumer choice.
