I play chess in a web page, and when someone want to write some bad word, automatically the word is replaced for a "oops" or "pardon", just wanna ask if it is possible and easy to do this, maybe a lots of problems could be avoided...

Yea, this would be a good option to have. I've moved your post to the features section, to increase the chance it will get added in the future.

In my opinion this would not be a good feature. If the game itself censors things... it doesn't realize the difference between swearing or excessively swearing or swearing at someone. The game doesn't realize the difference between me saying
"I feel sh*tty today"
"I feel like sh*tting on you today"
Obviously comment #1 doesn't really need to be censored while the second one may need to be. Moving on...

If all swear words are automatically replaced by a random word, then you won't know the difference between these two statements:
"You just sh*t yourself!"
"You just f*ck yourself!"
In comment #1 I meant that you sh*t yourself because you were shocked that something happened. Comment #2 on the other hand has less... friendly intentions.

If a troll discovers that "fuck" is censored, then they'll use "f uck" instead.

(People who wanna be nasty will always find a way.)

what about if it replaced some common curses with silly alternatives?

"fluff you para, eat sizzle you dirty cramp!"

might be fun? and could be done in a way where the writer still sees the unreplaced words, so newbs wouldn't know their swearing was getting altered.

Twisted Evil

(lux actually does this already for the n word)

The swearing of the newbs alters before they get censored I fear.

There will always be ways to insult players without cuss words....

BTW Guillerme, is your Mom still working at that "Donkey show" in T.J.?

I enjoy the racy banter. If the "cussing replacment word therapy" plan is implimented, there should be a option for a host to offer a "blue" room.
