I would say: yes.  In fact, in the bounty text put in the reason for
the bounty.  All bounties must be approved by an admin.  "j00
sux0rs!"  is not a valid reason, IMO.  This could also be used to
enforce the RP aspect, and a volunteer admin (in training perhaps)
could rewrite the bounty into world-specific terms (or another
in-game language?)
