I am getting an error on my Discourse forum that I can’t figure out. When trying to post a topic with the letter k in the title, I get the following error: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/3/43d7abc833aac8c52f8495ad772586d64a250230.png) There is no “k” in my censored words list. Removing the letter k causes the error to go away, and I’ll be able to post. My Discourse forum is here: > **[Hopscotch Forum](https://forum.gethopscotch.com/)** > > Get help, collaborate, and share tips about making games and coding in the Hopscotch Forum. I can post my censored words list if needed. ---

Here’s a topic attempt that is triggering the error: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/b/ebdea756fa7f47c103f965ef97de69bed5cfb913.png) ---

Any idea how soon the fix will be live on forums hosted by discourse? ---
