Yes, a lot of people don't seem to want RAFO "invaded" by new people.

We're not debating swearing on RAFO; that's not going anywhere (at least, I hope not). We're debating whether we should have the ability to proudly say, "This site HAS no language filter", which seems a pretty small thing for which to sacrifice dozens or perhaps hundreds of potential members. Put another way: Which do you think RAFO needs more right now, new blood, or the ability to write "shit" instead of "shit"?
To be honest, if the alternative to writing shit is an influx of underage americans, keep the shit flowing. 
*shrugs* I'm resigned to RAFOS slow but steady evacuation; no skin off my nose. As the underage Americans say, "It's your funeral.... "
Please. The internet is a big place. I don't want the spot I am in invaded by people I have nothing in common with. If that can be ensured by just avoiding to add a language filter, I am all for not adding such a thing. I think you vastly overestimate the number of potential members (3) who think such a filter is a technical necessity anyway... So I am afraid we'll have to live with the brats infecting this place
Which means all these little disagreements will be moot soon enough anyway.

Scanning a CoC requires a human (or significantly improved parsing), whereas spidering can be dumb

I figured,but checking for filter subroutines seems like it would be pretty easy.

Subroutines such as what?

Well, honestly, I don't know, but I expect language filter subroutines are pretty standardized now.

The point is that there is nothing that a browser* will see of such a filter unless...

OK, but even then preventing such posts covers the contingencies while censoring none.

All I can say to that is that people who think cursing on RAFO/WoTmania corrupts the youth

Who cares about the cursing. In other ways wotmania did probably corrupt me, though.
