Hello,

I am getting the following message when adding a URL that contains the words **federal-black** to an Event.

An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t post the word ‘federal-black’; it’s not allowed.

I checked Watched Words and these words are not listed. Where is this error coming from?

Regards
