3. Are you trashing terms that you use a lot?

I know, the chances of blocking everything are nil, but when I don’t see a post of mine, it’s usually because I trashed a word in it.

Don’t forget (and this is a somewhat arcane fact), trash matches any word CONTAINING your term, so if you block camel, then camelhair will also be blocked.

Some people block Trump, which is why a lot of us shorten or misspell that name on purpose on OP titles.

Just a wild idea. Happened to me but not on this scale.
