Some people are use some innapropiate words on here, I think you can report them for it, but maybe there can be something where you type in a word, so that if someone says it it wont appear

There are already
There are already wordfilters--check your options.
Or are you suggesting a way to ADD words to the filter?

You can already report users
You can already report users for cussin' in-game with the /report command; since forum handles are now tied to in-game names, you could presumably use the same mechanism (although the ability to edit posts means that such complaints might not carry as much weight).
The game's report mechanism, when used, also suggests a more straightforward and sensible solution for people using inappropriate language - ask them to stop. Lots of people don't read the TOS, or don't think it's a big deal - if you ask them to stop and they don't, or respond abusively, you've got grounds for a complaint.
And there's also a billion ways to defeat it.
Say you setup the filter to block the word "this".
Then people can type:
+his
thi5
th!s
t h i s
And countless other variations.
It's very easy to work around filters. That's why even with filter on, there's still the option to report people saying inappropriate things, and people who get warned too much will be banned.
