Added "your black" but baffled that "you're black" isn't filtered. What are they even trying to filter? Anyhow, forgot to verify "for some" when I was double pirating, so I'll add that when I double up again.

Preparing for a scavenger hunt last winter, we had to verify every line of text the weeks before. On the day of the event, some lines of text still didn't get through, as the filter seems to change from day to day. It also filters differently when a speed chat plus person is in hearing range.

Yes, figuring it all out has taken a enormous amount of time. Ironically, with a smoother design, they wouldn't waste anyone's time, nor endanger anyone, nor frustrate the broad majority of their customers. (Most, who don't even realize they are being undermined by the server side filter, instead left to assume this community is just rude.)
