Sh** Filter: Can I remove words from banned words list?

A user is reporting an error that I find quite humorous.    Is there a way to disable which words are filtered here?  With this B2B community, we don't see bad-word-usernames being a problem....

    I believe this is controlled by Mod Tools -> Content Filters

    In the settings, "apply this filter to", I would guess you have "user" in there, remove that and it will work (I think).

    Right now ours is set to "message,notes,chat,tag,user,label,media,socialmedia,captions" but we have SSO enabled so nobody can change their name/email on their end.

    Looking through the word lists, and learned a lot of new words… But… *sh*** is under the “login” category, which doesn’t have the Settings button…

    I’ll just change that to only leave the trailing asterisk, so usernames can’t start with Sh** and we’ll cross that bridge if we get there…

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll reply back once I verify this did the trick!
