It prolly just comes down to if the mods like you or not.

If they dont like you then a slightly inappropriate comment becomes a banned phrase , if they do like you they tell you settle down and think before you speak....

I thought they were just filtered - you know, if you type in a banned word or phrase, it shows up as gibberish in the post. I might be wrong though.

No. The message can not be posted with a banned word/phrase. Instead you get a screen that points out the error and you need to redo the post.

Have something to do with getting a nef post prior to a thread being locked? (like this one will soon be).

That's a no-no.
