Unless you want full Gestapo, and remove all in-game services except for obvious crafting advertisements, and strike everyone, even kind offers of helping, for posting about boosting?
As for finances and management, their support is already quite limited it seems, and you want to stretch them to monitor all channels? That is about 710 Local Defense Channels, 710 General Chat Channels, Trade chat, LookingForGroup, and on top of that, the LFG system - and the icing on the cake, they'll have to update their forums to not permit boosting, and monitor for boosting threads in all the main, and subforums.
And then we have to multiple it by regions, and multiple it by languages in some regions.
They could monitor for keywords, of course, but that can be circumvented.
Unlike private servers, Blizzard is an actual company, having to run an actual level of business with actual customers, at a much larger scale.
