I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

    Spook used as a noun:

    Ghost (Dutch, Apparition or Specter)

    A black person (around WWII, US military reference to black soldiers)

    A white person (when black people would refer to white people)

    Spies
