Quote from RichardCoulter:



So, it depends on what context your moderator used the word as to whether you were being oversensitive or not.
It is a cultural difference: The word is totally unacceptable in any context in Europe and the USA but apparently is is common use in South Africa and there is not considered as an insult.

It is in the swear filter on this site and has been added to ours.
