Edit: Are you here about the Google AdSense email? It's in post #3.
Copy the hidden character between the two letter a's:
aa
Paste it inside censored words like community, company, cozy, passes salvage to make them uncensored.
Please don't use it for swearing though. Only for fixing the overly eager word censor.
My work here is done.

Google are fucking tools. Fine, I removed the spoiler tags. Next they will complain about the swear words themselves. Banned are: erotic content, gambling, torrenting, guns, drugs, and smoking.
Edit: The entire email below boils down to: "hidden keywords" — Google is afraid of them, so to make them happy we will not use them. Explanation of the fix in simpler terms; Do not put too much text inside div elements with style=display:none on your website. And especially do not put the majority of your page's content in a hidden div. Even if you follow that with javascript:getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display=''; to un-hide it after, google doesn't care. I wonder how websites with tab panes deal with this ban. For whatever reason Google is okay with that.

Hi Daniel
I found a post of yours on the cityofsteam forum (http://forum.cityofsteam.com/index.php?topic=6023#msg45173) where you posted a link to a blocked word list used by steam. The file isn't available any more and I was wondering if you still have it somewhere? I want to use it to generate a character name preview app for Dark Souls 2 as DS2 is using this list to censor user names.
You can contact me on [...]@gmail.com
Thanks!
Dominic

Hi again, After re-reading your message, I have bad news for you...
No, Steam is using a different list.
City of Steam is not associated with Valve or Steam in any way except for the small technicality that City of Steam is allowed on the Steam service despite being what it is (a pay to win asian browser game).

Thanks for the info. This list is helpful anyway.
