Bad word detector annoyances

Bad word detector now considers “British Broadcasting Computer Micro” (initials for the first 3) a bad word now due to the use of (in this case british broadcasting corporation), meaning I can no longer use it in any projects, which is an issue considering what I focus on.
Is there any way to fix this/ appeal it?
It didn't use to do this as I was able to post about it before, but this will kill any projects relating to this great computer.
Look up “cruxinc acorn” for proof i'm not trolling, I'm very active in the acorn and bb* micro computer community.
Edit, i cant even post this effing thing with BB* in it (removed by moderator - please keep it polite)

it sometimes will work wierd because a scratch ai is not properly trained it sometimes recognises “BEE” as “<letter right to the O>ee”

(edit) it does not actually see bee as that but it is an EXAMPLE

Well the British Broadcasting thing kind of recently got turned into an inappropriate abbreviation. For the sake of the children on Scratch, I will not say what it means

Yeah. Apparently “This is B@D” (Had to censor it) and “They were bragging about being gay” are “Disrespectful”.

This is because the filter bot cannot understand context, and in this case that acronym has also gained popular use for something else that shall not be mentioned on this site.
