I think it's an interesting concept for a hack, but if the main reason is Google Adsense, I think it won't solve the terms issue, since the terms are for the actual page content, not the cloacked/altered content.

As far as I'm aware Google don't care so long as when the bot hits the page it isn't picking up any swear words, for that to happen it would have to register an account. With it not picking up any swear words on the pages with the bot, none of the content found in the search engine would contain any swear words, people would only see them if they registered.

Checking their policies it says:

Currently the site doesn't contain excessive profanity but then that's all down to the opinion of whoever is reading, some people might see the word fart as excessive profanity whereas other people might see it as the other F word being used with the C word and lots of other nasty things in between.

Originally when I first joined the program they did deem that there was too much swearing on the site so I introduced the filter and they accepted me without any problem afterwards so I don't see the content being cloaked being an issue.

If they have a problem with me allowing my members to view uncensored profanity then I'm sure they'll let me know if/when they come accross it. They don't actually stipulate that.

PS. I hate that double post thing.
