Edit
Oh great stuff, Nigeria is no longer considered profane

I'm quite flexible.
Never bit my own hind end, though. And I'd like to keep it that way.

Was it ever? I would think that two g's would be needed.

... and that perfectly good word is part of an URL. I don't remember what the word was but I had to create a tinyurl to post the link. Iirc it had something to do with concatenating two words like "bit" and "chip".
I'm surprised that we can post the word "pass".

I was surprised that the censor monkey doesn't correct proper English, only Ameristanish.
Reality has an Ameristanian bias.
I have a beautiful memory of Topolino, a Disney comic...
Topolino is what we call Mickey Mouse, indeed.
And whenever Donald Duck used to go on a rampage, he used to say in the speech bubble, something like @#%/§,
I recall all these signs that used to mean that he was cursing.
LOL

Nope. It means that there are people who fear there might be word sensitive people.

Nope. It means there are people around who are obsessed with 'bad' words.
Nope. It means we have guidelines to follow to maintain support from our sponsors.

What you describe appears to be an instance of what has become known as the “Scunthorpe Problem” for programmers: Scunthorpe problem - Wikipedia
Seems to be quite tricky, technically.
In this case, it's people trying to make money off of this site through ads. Think of that what you will.

Then the sponsors must be Communist wokerati.

Rather like the Peterborough Paradox.
It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to own a business if it's not profitable.
And if it was not profitable, we probably wouldn't be here right now.
The idea of a message board as a business is a bizarre idea to me, especially when the people making the money and the decisions aren't even members of the community. We don't even know who these people are. I've never come across a forum that was setup like that and I've been on many. But I'll just leave that alone.
Message boards aren't free for owners. There are costs involved in purchasing a URL, a server, maintaining visibility, IT support, and probably most importantly, time.
While there may be a few high traffic forums out there who are run by hobbyists, most forums that are as active is this one are businesses. You might be surprised by the time and money involved in maintaining such a venture.
