Many forums use the censored words list to censor sites/domains (usually competing sites that get spammed through things like PMs), but the censored words in Discourse does not apply to URLs. I would class this as a bug, or, add it as an option Also censor in URLs.
I think this is by design

Is there a workaround? I didn’t realize it didn’t censor URLs - our community has a very particular need to censor a certain URL for safety reasons. I enabled it as a watched word, but now learning it won’t work I’m wondering how we could accomplish this.
