Can we get the word filter adjusted please?

I certainly understand not wanting a forum environment where people are cussing each other out, but the filter is not only removing some really, really, questionable things, it's removing words that contain the letters of a mild expletive anywhere in them.

For instance, there was a recent story in an in-game media file about trying to track down an as.sa.ssin. We can't discuss it, at all, unless we type the word like that. This is going to be especially ridiculous if we eventually get some form of character cla.ss system, because... yep.

I've also found I can't say things like, "L8 XMPs can easily wh.ack unshielded portals of any level, even at a distance". Yes, I'm aware that word can refer to a mafia hit, but who is realistically going to use it in that sense on the Ingress forums, and not in the far more common "hit something hard" sense?

Another person had their post censored because they said they lost their Sojourner streak to a "de.ath" in the family. That's seriously a forbidden word on these forums.

There's a whole bunch of these.

    Is this forum using the default filter list offered by Vanilla plugins such as KeywordBlocker or Civil Tongue? Maybe that's the root cause of the problem. The list should be customized to fit Ingress gaming environment.
