Ban mentions of Nitro, it can be used for bypass, and scams

So what do I mean?

Nitro will be a word in the censor

Why?

So basically, somebody could bypass the filter if this is not censored.

Example:
What is your username on the chatting app with Nitro on it?

Or
Free Nitro! What is your username

So, that will bring a stop to that

But it is not happening enough!

It is better to censor it now, so it does not happen latter

Support!

Please give. A reason as well

What about Scratch games where there's a Nitro functionality? I can think of a few realistic scenarios, like a racing game.

no support, what if you're making a crash bandicoot game and you can't use “nitro”?

“Asphalt Nitro”
Anyways, plenty of words can be used as workarounds.

Due to how it can be bypassed and would cause some issues.
The reason why Grabify links were managed to be banned is because not only was the website sent after 2 years, but ST also got the repository of their other websites by having it sent via contact us. They can't work around this(People using it) without getting a new site on its hands.

This can easily be worked around as it has no links required and the word Nitro can be used as a shorten for Nitroglycerin(explosive). (Might be used for some games on Scratch, anyone could be discussing games with it anywhere on this platform as we speak.)
Semi-Support, if ST manages to do it in a way people can't bypass it (Which is impossible due to how many iterations of a word there are.) then it'd be a big one, otherwise they cannot execute this because they would need to see the comment beforehand. Your sentence could be added to their filter, but still yet.
It depends on how ST could handle it.
Again — Semi-Support.

R.I.P nitro in racing games

And, nitro isn’t the only way to bypass the word discord. There’s purple app, the opposite of harmony app etc. If we ban commonly used words just because they can be used to bypass a bad word, soon we won’t be able to mention colors, animals, and even books, because, well they can be used to bypass social media names!

No support. As a wise man once said “Just silently report and move on”

Edit.: I forgot, but you should report filter issues with Contact Us, not the forums.

That can still have heavy issues and bypassing — No matter the scenario, it can be bypassed.
No matter how hard ST tries, there'll be that one guy who bypasses. This suggestion cannot be enforced even with this singular comment. People can create project instructions and do workarounds in order to say it. Someone could create a seemingly innocent project — But create a comment somewhere and lure a person offsite by mentioning this instead of just saying Discord.

“how to nitro crash bandicoot??”
“I love to use nitros in nitro type”
No support for these, and the fact that you can still bypass it

Almost no one called purple gamer logo “Nitro” I know what you mean but more people use nitro for other things instead of purple gamer logo.

Can you please emphasize what “nitro” means in this context? I feel like any particular word could replace it.

Here's a most popular game most people like to play:
"Nitro Type“
Any context with nitro especially car games will just get censored because of banning mentions of the word ”Nitro"?

No Support at all.

What about the fact that I have a car game called Asphalt 9 on my switch which literally uses nitro as the speed boosts. There's normal nitro, perfect nitro, and shockwave nitro, those just make your car go faster. What if someone was trying to remake the game on scratch or something? They wouldn't even be able to name a speed boost!
