"***" being banned and "crap" being allowed makes about as much sense as some of Boris's lockdown rules, so I've changed the filter to allow both.

As that link you kindly provided clearly states, Sqad
[ S or U ] offensive

It's obviously built into the filter system, there are a few others that seem illogical.

Maybe an email to ask if the tech team could sort anything out.

Hmm, I expected some stars there, Sqad!

Not in the filter then.

[U] Uncountable or singular noun: a noun that has no plural.
[S] A singular noun.

I can't understand why so many feel the need to use words like that (the puerile disguising of them is even worse), but no doubt I'll be nigh-on alone in that.

I don't need to use it but would like a reason why I can't particularly as the word was allowed on a previous post on this thread
