Hi,

So, on this forum I am an admin on, I was trying to update moderation guidelines I had set. Anyways, when I went to save the edit, the system told me that the words “short,” and “shouldn’t” were banned. I went into the watched words section and searched for the words. They weren’t there. I went into the test section and it confirmed they were blocked but didn’t let me unblock. If you need to know what plan the forum is on, we are hosted on the probono plan. (thanks discourse) Please help. Thanks!
