Can a mod go through and make sure innocent things aren't caught by the censor just because they're close to the intended censored word? For example, "put a" is a very normal part of a sentence when describing where to place things but is censored because of the word "puta" that censor wants to catch, a word that effectively refers to someone being a prostitute (which is itself not a censored word). I'm not aware of other censor slips like this yet but I'm sure they exist so another once over would be nice; it reminds me of back when Dragon Pickaxes came out and it would censor "d pick" because of the obvious reason despite becoming an innocuous thing in-game, or the issues with selling "black male" dragons with PoF triggering automutes.

I've flagged it as bug, but it's not really a bug so much as a contextual issue.

Thanks for your report on this - the team acknowledge that 'put a' is a common part of standard sentences and we're going to remove this from the hard filter as soon as we can. We'll be continuing to monitor for similar reports and assess on a case by case basis.

We know the solution is imperfect, but as we mentioned in the post announcing this change, it's just an initial step we can take to help make our community a more inclusive and representative place to be - now rather than later.
