There was a nutcase spammer flooding the boards day after day after day a while back.
They were posting links/threads saying that Google/yahoo/everyone’s aunt were in league with the mafia and websites containing some very objectionable content.
So several keywords that showed up all the time in their thread titles and links were added to the filter. That was one of them if I recall correctly.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
