Thanks for a better clarification than I provided!
And that's just one commit message!
Why is "poop" there?! I doubt think think anyone is going to teach their children to say "Mother, I need to excrete feces and deposit them into the toilet."
You better deposit them in the toilet!
The fact that that is phrased as two steps led to some very gross imagery.
Flange? Feeling old right about now
How is one supposed to discuss groups of baboons without "flange"? "Whoop" is allowed, so I guess it's okay to talk about gorillas. That's speciesist!
Wow, the amount of homophobia on twitter is staggering...

I enjoy that they are all "bad words"... except for the "viagra" variations. As if they just couldn't help putting that in to filter too.
How do we know this is the list that's used? It looks like you can't write "door knob".
Does this really help? Or is this a filter that a site can choose to enable, to claim they did something "for the kids"?

So you can't post any of these words? I think a community moderated system is much better , because you don't to use any of these words to be offensive
No, this is all optional. From the site owner admin panel in disqus you can add a custom list of words that you want to Block, and you can also add wildcards (.*) characters. I just thought this was a very funny and succinct list with a lot of creative loophole words in there as well.
Daniel from Disqus here. We have a list of common restricted "obscenities" used on Disqus-powered sites. That list is provided there for convenience.
Orgasm is a bad word??
While they are electing the new pope, the conclave will be patting themselves on the back for a job well done on that one.
That's got nothin on "Willies", most 5 year-olds would say that without turning a head.
At least it will prevent people from spelling Bruce Willis wrong.
It's likely more of a detect-words-spammers-might-say rather than a Puritan thing.
Is this a filter list? Isn't a regex faster for this kind of thing, especially with terms that are just plural versions of other terms?
I imagine it's more complex than that. If not, I'd hate to be a door knob company.
These words are probably used to score messages based on how likely they are to be bad.

I guess that explains why my comment that mentioned C. A. R. Hoare on a programming blog that uses Disqus never showed up...

Twunt? Well, I guess you learn something new every day.
did anyone else just look up what "smegma" means?
I learnt that one from Red Dwarf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Red_Dwarf_concepts#Smeg
"There has been some speculation that the name is related to the word smegma; however, this has been denied by the writers"
I was one of the words we had to look up when playing Cards Against Humanity.
Is it bad that I knew what it is?
That's it?
There is a filter tab in the Disqus admin area, one of those tabs is "filter," here is the text around below the restricted words input box:
"Separate words with commas. You may use .* (dot asterisk) as wildcard, but be careful not to be too aggressive. For example, s.*ck will match suck, but also sock and stack. Words must be at least 3 characters in length.
Here is a sample list of restricted words[1]."
