We’ve recently added a couple watchwords into our instance.

However, our user found out the ways to around it like below. Does discourse automatically remove unsupported html tag or not? These are actually build into the post and didn’t trigger the review system.

```plaintext
dis</n>cord discord 
tampe</big>rmonkey

```

Our watch word list:

```plaintext
*discord*
*tampermonkey*

```
