I’m trying to make a post about D.P. but whatever robot is monitoring the site won’t let me. The most inappropriate word in my post was hormone 😑

      I’m not sure there’s a list anywhere. I know that some of them don’t make much sense.

      @sicarius is my expert on this.

      The IW feature is to reduce spam and bots, but it can cause problems for the average user.
      There is no definite list, other than what I have personally compiled, and it can change depending on what suddenly becomes less of an issue, or alternatively, more of a user one- e.g. First used to be one, but was changed, in part because of the Drama Because This Life is our First (wouldn’t do to have a drama airing that physically can’t be talked about).
      Spoiler is no longer one, but it used to be; spoi-ler-alert is still one
      No swear words that I know of are, but social-ist, social-ism, (and also with zeros) and special-ist are.

      I don’t know who @mary‘s replacement is so I can’t even suggest someone to tag other than db-staff, for help.

      I have often found that weird formatting, like dashes or slashes or combinations with certain emojis, can cause an I/W moment, but they’re weird and irregular.

      In the past I have made test posts, and broken down the piece I’m writing, in halves and pieces, until I find the I/W, and then either changed it, or posted it with a number or dash (as seen above).

      Hope this helps somewhat and let me know if you have any more questions!

      It’s a mystery to all and strikes at the weirdest times. See Sic’s post for some detail. I imagine the hormone you’re referring to is the subject of a number of bot attacks.
