Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

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.

As a black person, I approve of this. It's better to not have any cracks to slip through, period.
