Restricting the use of Offensive or Bad words in About Me
um, only thing I can think of is to hire people that don't want to be fired for violating company policies.

Haha. Well we do trust our employees, or at least I do.
This is mainly coming from our HR department. In our ancient Employee Directory many years ago we had "Passion Statements" so they basically want to replicate that but wanted to be able to approve the statements. Well being that we have around 800 employees it seems like a lot of work to approve that many About Me statements. So we are trying to be proactive by limiting potential bad things from being entered to provide some piece of mind surrounding what will be in the About Me sections.
I will definitely take a look at Hyperfish, I have looked at it briefly before. Thanks.
