Seems to me there was no 'everyone else' involved. It's a piece of software that picks out the no-go words.
Yep.
Some words are automatically filtered because of advertisers. The new site will be a lot more customizable -- if you want to see those words, you can. If you don't want to, you don't have to.
Meanwhile, since we want to remain solvent, the word filter system is what we've got.
As ehBeth says, it's a software thing. If you have suggestions for what words you think should be in the filter, send 'em to the Help Desk. Generally we've tried for putting as
few words in the filter as is feasible.
