    How can anyone help if you won’t provide specific examples of what is being filtered? Can you provide some example comments that were filtered?

      Why would you need to know what was being removed in order to suggest a character format that doesn’t get deleted? That doesn’t make sense to me. The actual content is irrelevant.

        No one’s been able to answer this very basic question. Just downvoting with no explanation even though your logic is flawed.

        What about knowing the specific content would enable you to suggest a text character that doesn’t get removed?

        If you could suggest a text character that doesn’t get removed, then knowing the specific content, which is varied anyway, would not change your ability to suggest that text character since you would be able to suggest it anyway.

          Because you are not giving us enough info to work with.

          Imagine you going to a book store and being the clerk in this scenario

          Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book. Clerk: Ok, what is the text you are looking for.
          Cust: I don’t want to tell you.
          Clerk: ok, what book is it from?
          Cust: I can’t say.

          You are being that customer right now. You need to help us help you.

            Since your example isn’t accurate, I’ll modify it to make a more apt analogy.

            Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book.

            Clerk: Ok, what is the book you are looking for.

            Cust: It’s called “Ancient Unholy Incantations”

            Clerk: oh, why do you want that book? Why why why?

            Cust: I can’t really say because it’s various things I can’t really remember.

            Clerk: Tell me! Or else I can’t help. I physically can’t. It’s not that I don’t want to because I don’t believe your intentions are good and need convincing. Something… would prevent me from doing so.

            Cust: Ok well it’s sort of for a lot of different purposes, like just random stuff, maybe for making my dog happy, or for helping grow my garden.

            Clerk: No, no, tell me more! What is it? You haven’t given me enough information. I can’t help you!

            Cust: Are you sure it’s not just that you don’t want to because you assume my intentions are bad?

            Clerk: You are alt-right!!!

          The answers are just as specific as the question. If you want a more informational answer, ask a more informational question.
