Unable to publish a famous poet’s name.
-
Hello. I’m trying to publish a critical introduction of a famous Iranian-American poet who will be known in this context as ‘Kaveh A.’ because I cannot send any messages containing his full last name. Please look into this because this is /incredibly/ racist. I tried to post my article on him and was unable to both publish and save my draft. I then went to the forums to get help and couldn’t post there either because I had written his last name in full in my question.
This is a person’s name. Please fix this–the racism is untenable. -
Hi there,
On what site are you working?
We don’t employ any automated moderation or blocking on WordPress.com that would prevent you from publishing a specific word or name on your site.

Of which forum are you speaking? The forum you’re posting in now is the only support forum for WordPress.com, and this is the first time you’ve ever posted here. We don’t have any blocking like what you describe in this forum either.
Are you speaking of Kaveh Akbar? As you can see I have no problem posting his full name here in the forums. I am also able to publish a post containing his name as both the post title and post content. My test site is private, but you can see a screen shot of the post I just created here:
I also searched our entire codebase, and I can assure you the word,
Akbar, isn’t being blocked anywhere in our code.
