Watched words also applied to staff?

According to these posts, staff posts are immune to watched word checks by design

Watched words triggered when editing old posts

Staff are excluded from the checks, so what you’re seeing is correct. So those steps are the same as what you reported in your first post?

* wildcards in Watched Words (Censor) don't work

Yes staff are immune to this by design. So not a bug.

Watched words for staff members too

Hi, Is there any way to check staff for inappropriate words during posting? I tried Watched Words option, but it works only for non-staff. As I understand, it works as designed. I would like to avoid staff members use some phrases, for instance, they need to check themselves the URL published (external must be): NOT OK: The issue has been added: https://internal.domain.com/B-123 OK: The issue has been added: https://external.domain.com/B-123 How to achieve this?

But it doesn’t seem to work in my deploys, tested on both 2.7.13 and 2.8.2, post with the admin account

Yeah, they are immune to all of the other sections, but replace is special.

Putting this in #feature , many communities want replace to be applied evenly cause it is used for making certain words hyperlinks and so on.

For example despite being staff when I type safe mode it becomes a link here, and that is desirable.

Does ‘Censor’ work the same way as ‘Replace’ ? Because I find that admin posts are also censored. Is there any way for staff to bypass the rules?
