The word filter is being added in Dawntrail. It is used to filter out any chat messages with words you don't want to see in them. For example, the image from the patch notes is filtering the word "potion." So if someone said "hey bro hand me that potion" you wouldn't see that message.

I was very excited to use it to filter out all the obnoxious shout spam from club ads but that's going to be tough with only ten spaces to work with. It needs to be at least 50-100.
