Sorry, I have to disagree there. It would solve nothing. I played another online game that has the same problems I see in GW. However, they have them to a worse extent due to a younger player base. In this particular game, there is a chat filter, but it's very very broken. Almost everyone knows how to bypass it and the language and general behavior ingame is very crude to the extent that most decent folk will no longer play. (Me included) Basically if you are not a "regular" player who is well known by the regulars you will be told to "F" off and go "F" yourself as soon as you enter the game.

This game did introduce "bot" GM's into the game to try and curb some of these problems, but the bots did not help at all. Everyone knows they are just bots and the insults and rotten tomatoes are flying all the time at the GM bots whenever they enter the game.
