I tried (and failed) to test whether this worked in my previous thread here with a certain word, but forgot that it wasn't even in the wordfilter.

Either way, perhaps it would be better to move the wordfilter code into the post renderer (after things like BBCode are parsed), rather than it being part of the thread/post submission? That could also allow for doing more flexible filtering, perhaps using regexes and stuff like that.

Having it operating on URLs and unrelated partial words isn't really a great idea unless one intentionally meant to do so.

This also relates to matching on leading spaces or not, which is already adjustable. From my perspective it's up to the admins to configure as desired based on translation and community standards.
