There is, but it won't work as well as you hope, so
it's a futile effort attempting to block content based on such
filters.  We already block the majority of spam, and any viruses we
know about, leaving only the occasional off-topic post made by someone to
the forum, which there isn't really anything we can do about.

As mature readers we can all just hit the delete button.  Rest
assured that we do follow up on these abuses and that we do what we can
to ensure they won't happen again.
