Did the message actually tell you what word was being blocked, or was it just a period..?

If it gave a word, it means somewhere in your post was a group of letters that formed that word, possibly a few at the end of a word and the rest at the beginning of the next word. The filter ignores spaces and some punctuation because people try to bypass by inserting blanks or dots in their posts.

If it was just a period, it could mean the filter sees something in the post as looking like a "URL shortener", an online link that can be used to link to keyloggers and screamers, and thus are blocked. Check to make sure there are no extra periods after words or between words without spaces.

Unfortunately a lot of times it's not immediately apparent what triggered the filter and you just have to keep checking until you find and change whatever it is.
And while you're doing it, you can thank all the children who have abused the site and the rules for making things like this necessary.

(The thread was restarted after being moved to the appropriate forum section because nearly all the replies were off-topic and added nothing to helping with the problem.)
