A certain racist slur is not filtered

Question

I just posted three questions, one for each section, and posted the N word in them (ONLY AS A TEST, I DO NOT USE THAT WORD). Here they are for staff:

https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/75582/quick-test-dont-post
https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rmt/59641/quick-test-dont-post

Pokebase and RMT didn't filter the word at all, META made one of these things instead:

---

Please fix this, I don't think this is the sort of word that should be left out of the filter.

X why would you do this

---

I was going through the new user page, found a user by that name. I found it strange it wasn't filtered, so I decided to test it, lol.

---

Maybe you should add racist slur to the title so that pm knows the extreme to this certain word

Edited, thanks.

Answer 1

Whoops, turns out I had added that to the filter on Meta but not the other sections. It's now updated on the others.

The reason it turns into a horizontal line is because it converts swear words to stars, but then it reads that as Markdown and 3+ stars on a line make it into a <hr> tag which is a "horizontal rule".
