Thanks, Matthias!

I really appreciate your rapid turn-around on this issue.

I just tested all 5 filters in a variety of user modes, and they seem to be
doing their job well. All the swear words I entered were disallowed as
intended, without apparent performance issues. Nicely done!

I just tested these filters in these different user modes, with these results:
- anonymous reader (disallows all foul words)
- registered 'non-autoconfirmed' editor (disallows all foul words)
- autoconfirmed editor (allows all foul words)

I can confirm that the filter only works when I am logging as a
non-auto-confirmed editor, not when I am an auto-confirmed editor. This seems
reasonable, since 98% of the feedback comes from anonymous users. But we may
need to revisit this rule if we find that we get foul language from
auto-confirmed editors.

At this time, none of the filters appear to be hitting the 5% limit for
automatic disabling -- and they seem to only add minimal load on the abuse
fiter extension (e.g.. for #496: 'Of the last 9,056 actions, this filter has
matched 12 (0.13%). On average, its run time is 1.15 ms, and it consumes 215
conditions of the condition limit.').

Also, what does the '(https?|ftp)://)\S{30,}' expression mean in filter 497? Is
it trying to remove any link that includes 'https://' ? (didn't seem to work
for me).

Thanks again for taking care of this important issue, which we have been
wanting to fix for a long time now. If it continues to perform well, I expect
that this could make a big change in reducing the amount of inappropriate
feedback we get from this tool -- and most importantly, reducing the workload
for editors who monitor this feed.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank filter editors like Reaper
Eternal and Sole Soul for all their great work and patient advice, which played
a key role in solving this issue. Much appreciated, you guys!
