Why is the word "p r o w l e r" blocked?

It does have some sexual connotations, but what's wrong with it? Besides, since I've seen so many censor bypassed versions of it (like mine), why don't the mods care when anybody does that?

That's what I was afraid it would be.

Why? This makes no sense at all. The site is even linked to on the non-forum CC page. Is the site really, really unreputable or something?
