Does Waze censor words in reports?

I've not been aware that there is censoring going on. If it is, and a word like "pass" is censored because it contains "ass" then it isn't working very well.

This is ridiculous. The code handling this is terribly misconfigured.

Were these changed announced to the community at all or testing done on this?

And did it stop by now? (No means of telling, in Europe we are all adults)

"HO" is also censored, regardless of its placement in the sentence.

Android screen cap is being rejected as an upload; I will rehost shortly.

Okay...this is obviously something new but it's not only censoring anything it thinks may be inappropriate, it censors all sorts of things...

"Sniglet of the day: Passhole - (n) - Driver who overtakes in the slow lane."

I don't know what to make of this one...Passhole is pretty obvious, but "Sniglet" and "who"?

Snigger I could understand, but it was Sniglet.
