Place filtering power in the hands of the players!

Maybe SE had some filters in place at one time, but considering I've seen messages lately that have a straight web address in them, such as www.whatever.com, with no attempt to mask the fact that it's a web address, well, I have come to believe that for whatever reason SE removed the filters at some point.

Nope, it's simply that the web address you saw was not in the filter. The filter does not filter out every URL, if it did, no player could refer a friend to their own site or anything like that. So if an RMT starts using a site that has yet to be blocked by the filter, it will get through until it's reported sufficiently to make it to the filter.

So are you trying to say the filter can't contain www.*.com? That's the first thing I would expect to be added to a filter. I'm pretty sure it was filtered when they were first put in place anyway.
