What's with the crazy filters disallowing words in posts? This time I couldn't use the term "de***" in my response. I couldn't even write it here. Makes it a bit frustrating to have to rewrite your answer mid post to get it to be accepted.

Hi Nathan_Hilliard, JudyNollet is 100% correct. We had to add that word to our spam filters due to this scam, which was resulting in thousands of spam messages coming into our community on a daily basis. I'll talk to our Support team to see if we can remove that word because I suspect that our filters will still catch those posts due to other words.
UPDATE: We have removed Delta from our spam filters.

Thanks, GingerSwart and the anti-spam team!
I think I reported hundreds of those posts when they first started popping up. It must be tough finding the right balance to filter the junk while letting legitimate posts come through.

I'm guessing that the D word was added to the spam filters a while back after the site was flooded with spam with a phone number that allegedly was for reaching someone at that company.
Yeah, they need to rethink that one, since it's also a letter in the Greek alphabet and also used to refer to the the difference between two values.
GingerSwart : I hope you can help by passing this concern to the appropriate folks.
