We had a bunch of new accounts created that immediately hurled abuse at another user. It got us briefly defederated from a few instances. We are using the profanity filter to raise those kinds of post to our attention so we can deal with them rapidly.

Once we are sure the new account is behaving itself, the filter is turned off. We don’t care if you swear, as long as it’s in line with the code of conduct.

pASSword - Profanity filter caught you. Sorry.

They didn’t, our auto-mod did. We have an automod that detects profanity.

I have disabled it for you now.
