You don't know who you are playing with, or even who spectate your games.
There are many young people on the website, and moderate a bit the language doesn't seem too much to me.
Exactly, and I can judge this by myself. For me, I rarely swear, and such pop-ups and warnings are intrusive, annoying, and induces anxiety.
Are the restricted words posted anywhere?
EDIT: Profanity-warnings are really annoying and doesn't consider different languages. This _alone_ is good reason for allowing us to disable it. A typical example is the word "
s7ut" - "
slutet av spelet" -> "the end of the game", which is a completely normal word in Swedish, and very useful in gaming, but you would get the annyoing pop-up every time you used it because the warning-filter isn't language-sensitive.
As for the family-friendly argument, children should use children's accounts with word filters if parents wish so, to prevent them from even seeing the words. Because atm that warning doesn't prevent people from writing anything, it makes us reconsider what we write, which I agree is a good ting. But any word-filtering also has a chilling effect on communication.

About our friends, we can use external textual/vocal communication tools to avoid this.
Or we could have an option to turn it off. Simpler, easier.
EDIT: Actually, for real-life friends, you're right, of course it's better to use external tools.
