It says certain words have been banned because they're commonly used in spam but to "let us know" if you want to use any of them. Who should we contact?
- Hi Kevin -- I know the pain, I once wanted to use the word 'specialist' and couldn't save (note the 'cialis' substring). Note also that I circumvented the filter (see the source). Which is not exactly a strong argument against using the filter, but it is some kind of argument for sure. So until you reach James and perhaps James reaches Chris (not sure if he needs to in this respect) in order to whitelist the relevant words, this may be the way to proceed.
