BE-76: Real-time Match Chat Message Moderation Service using OpenAI Moderation API

[chinweobtagaz]

Problem Statement

Toxic chat, harassment, and spam degrade the player experience. Automated real-time text moderation ensures a safe community environment.

Proposed Solution

1. Intercept in-game chat messages before broadcasting.
2. Evaluate text against lightweight local profanity filter (trie-based) and optional async AI moderation API.
3. Mask violating words with *** or block message and issue warning to sender.

Acceptance Criteria

• Sub-5ms local regex/trie filtering for common offensive words and slurs.
• Repeat offenders automatically muted in match chat for 24 hours.
• Unit tests for chat sanitizer and muting logic.
