Strange Problem With Profanity

So, it appears that bbPress on my site does not like the word “fuck” or any of its derivatives. When users try to post a topic or reply containing this word, after submitting, they see “ERROR: your reply cannot be created at this time.” My account, the keymaster, is able to make posts with this word. If I give other users a keymaster forum role, then they may also make posts with this word. No other roles (not even moderator) can make posts with the word. This is all independent of the users’ site roles. All other forms of profanity, no matter how strange and distasteful, seem to pose no problem. How can I fix this and allow my users to use the word “fuck” to their hearts’ content? I have already tried everything on the bbPress troubleshooting site. I have no words listed in the ‘Comment Moderation’ and ‘Comment Blacklist’ boxes in the WordPress discussion settings, and the maximum rating is set to X. All forum topics on my site are private.

Info:
WordPress v4.52
Theme: SiteOrigin North
bbPress v2.59

Hi,
You might have security or spam plugins running that are blocking this… ?

Did you figure this out?

I have a added a forum on an ‘adult joke’ site and users cannot seem to post the words BREAST or BREASTS (as in chicken breast?) and TIT (as in blue tit?) and no doubt the word ‘fuck’ too, what do I do?

You need to deactivate one of the plugins that is causing for some reason, either Ninja Forms (think it is) or Mojo Marketplace, I deleted bot and now users are able to post breast, tit and even fuckity fuck

@rainbowgolfcart bbPress can use words that are in your comment moderation and blacklisting input boxes in Settings > Discussion. Some plugins like the mojo marketplace plugin that @mclaurence noted can use a function and inject a custom list of words to these input boxes. Make sure to remove the interfering plugin.

@mclaurence

Its probably just the mojo marketplace plugin, ninja forms might be fine.
