Read my comment above.

TL;DR: A week's way too harsh, and we should make a list of inappropriate words not to be used on chat, so if some potty-mouthed new user comes in and says the F-word or something, they don't just get a ban sprung at them out of nowhere. I also think the ban should depend on the word.
