I would have imagined that maintaining the filter would go down the route of relaxing or removing it altogether, not tightening it up. Hand up, whose clever idea was it?

Good point. Now that I'm in the council I can bring this topic for the next meeting.
Thanks.

My point exactly. The US English spelling of this word may be used as a synonym for donkey which is not offensive and is blocked by the filter whereas the English English 4-letter spelling (it seems kind of redundant to say "English" twice but at least it should now be clear what I mean), there is no ambiguity, it is always offensive, yet it is allowed by the filter.

I am disappointed to see the smartwatch thing go. It made me laugh every time I saw it. Please put it back.

And while you're there, why are we not censoring 'elop'? I feel triggered...

That, yes!
Actually, that word alone would do it.

Same here. Pretty please abolish all other filters, except the smartwatch one!
