Just flicking back through an old topic or two and noticed a word which has since become 'unacceptable' on PH is in the clear: click.
Assume it's because filters are applied at posting rather than display.

Correct...

We store the original text and the parsed text in the database at time of posting - so any retrospective changes to any of the posting rules, be it swear filter or new forum tags will not apply if added after the post was submitted.

Though if you were to quote the post it would apply the filters on your post.
