Are some words on auto delete?

I responded to a post by kauiguy and used the word N a z i s.

A group of asterisks appeared.  Is this a word programmed not to be accepted, or is this a system error?

Edit:  I see it occurred here too . . .

Correction to his name.

I've had that happen and I think the software is designed to censor bad words like:

*** = sexual congress.

*** = female dog.

*** = rooster.

*** = african american

*** = national socialists (plural), except that Nazi (singular) doesn't get censored. Interesting.

I never encountered this before.  Certain acronyms or words I wouldn't use because of obvious reasons.  I think I'll have to invest in an Urban Dictionary.  Thanks!

There is a screening to certain words.

I'll look into the settings.
