A mod on a gardening forum deleted my post for saying the word "kill" and told me to use "dispatch" instead, so now I write like a Victorian

Last month I posted about how to kill bindweed in my backyard in Boise and it got pulled in under 4 minutes, with the mod message saying the word "kill" made the auto filter flag it as violence. At first I was annoyed, but then I realized it actually made me write clearer posts, like saying "pull it at the root every 3 days" instead of vague violent words, and the replies got way more useful. Has anyone else had a mod give them a word swap like that, and did you actually keep using it or go back to your normal words?
