Ok, I knew there'd be a good reason.Over the past couple of months, we've been warding off constant spam attempts from some garbage kitchen company in the UK. If you look up "kitchen gangster" in Google, you'll see the name of the sociopath responsible.
One of the best ways to defend against spam is to add the business name and URLs to the site's profanity filter, thereby breaking all of the links the spammers attempt to post on the site. In this case, the company hired a bunch of people in Indonesia to spam our forums multiple times per day in order to boost their search ranking. If you force them to try and circumvent the filter, the SEO value of the resulting posts is nil. (Though you still have the headache of cleaning it up.)
Unfortunately, the current system lacks a proper administrative interface for updating the profanity filter, so we have to submit requests to Huddler for implementation. We wanted to remove the spammer's business name as a unit - not as individual, separate words. Obviously that's not what happened.
We'll have the error corrected.
damn, not only is Meth our mod, he's also Homeland Security.
