URLs that have a bad word as part of the URL

[xwing]

Evidently the "bad word" blocker on INGO forum software will unlink any URL if the URL itself has a prohibited word as part of the URL itself. This breaks links to legitimate other forums and articles. I would think that as long as the title shown in INGO does not have a bad word, the URL should not be blocked. Is this merely a byproduct of the way the "bad word" filter works? Or is it on purpose? Is there a way to share that URL (maybe with a "warning" about the URL title?)

I don't think I have run into this, but @xwin has a point.

At one point, you couldn't post this link because of a for four letter word that was considered naughty. I don't think it can be adjusted to ignore bad words (no matter how they are combined) in legitimate links.

There is always a URL shortener. Not hard to use and many are free.

You couldn't post "wristwatch" either, and for the same reason.
