Banned words?

I have a partial list, but it's off-site and posting it would therefore violate ForgeHub's rules. (I also don't think the mods would want me posting what is essentially a list of profanities with some innocent words scattered throughout.)

Lemme take a look at your description.

Global Risk engages Black List "Ghost" operative in their headquarters.

I'm seeing a few possibles but I'd need to test them to be sure. "Black", to be specific. (Yes, Micro$oft is offended by "black" things. Inorite? So racist!)

Lemme check for cross-word filtering:

globalriskengagesblacklistghostoperativeintheirheadquarters

I'm not noticing anything cross-word, either. (The filter applies across spaces and punctuation, so "If a goal-man quits" (real life example) is detected as "***", and blocked.)

"Black"'s probably the word you're looking for. Replace it and see if it works. (Don't just obfuscate with numbers or accented symbols, the filter actually catches those.)

 

I don't see why you couldn't link to a list of words that are banned; it would help him solve his problem, and nobody would be hurt. Just put it in a spoiler or something and tell people what it is.

 

Oh, right, forgot about the possibility of using a spoiler tag. (Most forums I frequent don't have those. :3) Also thought it might count as advertising since it's off-site. Anyway,...

Spoiler

Here's the list. It's been months since I've attempted to update it, so there are probably quite a few innocent words that haven't yet been catalogued.

Most of it consists of obvious profanities, but like I said -- Microsoft does all sorts of risky, false-positive-generating things, like checking across word boundaries, so even the seemingly-obvious censors are worth noting.
