Is it necessary to add name filters to in-game text editors (for games steered towards a family audience)?

Words that would be considered “bad” words are passed around quite frequently in the online community, and I want my game to be a family-friendly online community platformer game. So should I program in bots that clear bad words? I feel that it would lead to people complaining that the computer censored a part of a name. People could also cheat the system by spacing the letters apart, but trying to censor that would cause even more false positive issues. Should I act on this issue or should I let a flagging system handle the wrongdoers?
