Are you aware of any open-source/free .NET profanity filter (ASP.NET MVC to be precise)? I searched google but I couldn't come up with any. I would like to avoid implementing it entirely on my own, if possible. It is so easy to make mistake or overlook something.

See here for some discussion around this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/273516/how-do-you-implement-a-good-profanity-filter – Richard H Jul 22 '11 at 10:58

I did take a look at that discussion. Nothing for .NET (at least free/open source) – TPR Jul 22 '11 at 11:10

Why would you ever need such a thing? – CodesInChaos Jul 22 '11 at 13:47

What a ******* good question.
(I would have added this as a comment, but I'm a ****)
Update
Ok, here is something that might be a bit more useful:

The above describes a simple swear filter from a list of words using regular expressions.
You could download a list of swear words from here - http://www.noswearing.com/

I did stumble upon that link, but it leaves implementation in my hand and by reading the comments, it seemed more on the naive side. I could be wrong. I will give that a try if nothing open-source is available. – TPR Jul 22 '11 at 11:38
