The algorithm needs to be reprogrammed as to which words pose a problem. I remember a similar problem many of my faculty collegues encountered in their PP presentations using college computers.
Posts are being deleted wholesale. It’s worse than Kalmbach era. Apparently ToyTrains are all that is allowed.

See a note that a locked topic will reopen in 25 minutes.
As mentioned in the original post, we had a thread that included a disturbing message alongside an equally troubling username. In response, we implemented a list of blocked words to prevent similar content — but that list ended up being too strict.
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve since removed the list. Moving forward, any sensitive terms will be added to a censor list (not a block list), so they’re flagged but don’t prevent posting altogether.
The goal here was always to limit disturbing or harmful content — not to silence everyday discussion. You all helped us spot the issue quickly, and we’ve made adjustments within 24 hours as a result.
We really appreciate your awareness and patience. As of now, the blocked words have been removed and you should be able to post as usual.
Thanks again for helping us improve the space.
