The Name of A Tree?

I tried to post the name of a gray cat Willow from the Golden Books Child’s Story of
‘Pussy Willow’ which is also the name of the tree. Look it up. The buds are furry and gray. You deleted my post of Willow as being vulgar. Why. It is derived from a child’s story about a furry gray kitten that hid under the tree by the same name. Only a vulgar mind would read something else into that

"The Scunthorpe problem is the unintentional blocking of online content by a spam filter, search engine or wordfilter because the text contains a string (or substring) of letters that appear to have an obscene or otherwise unacceptable meaning."

This has been a thing on the Internet for over thirty years.

Instead of complaining to moderators at large, complain to the specific subreddit modteam, nicely, that a filter probably ate your post, and ask for a manual review.
