I had a post removed today for using the word “spook” in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

    The s word is an old timey USA slur, you aren’t seeing it in modern media because it is very racist. Gran Torino features a scene where Clint Eastwood uses it.
