The words used were in random order

P
O
R

Yes there is a filter in the database of the board that recognises "nasty" words and either edits them or asks you to.

customisation is possible by admins and a custom dictionary of words can be added. as well words containing "naughty" words can be edited, an example would be "bassoon" which would be edited b***oon or "cockrel" which would be edited c***rel

nice stuff eh
