You can't post a banned word without knowing it, it will come up highlighted and have to be removed or edited before the post will go through successfully. But no, I don't know of any banned word list.

I believe that a certain phrase that makes reference to posting in a thread before the thread is locked, and an abbreviation of that phrase, are both forbidden.

And a good thing that is, too.

Does anyone remember how annoying it was (in earlier times, before the mods cracked down on this) to have stupid threads getting bumped to the top time and again by idiots posting that "I B the Lock" sort of crap just to make themselves look clever? (Please excuse my reference to it here, but it is difficult to describe banned words and phrases without coming close to using them.)
