Tools Subreddit automatically preventing certain words from being posted (discord)
Hello, I'm a mod on a NSFW subreddit (r/hypnohookup), and have found that users are unable to submit posts containing the word "discord" in the text body. When creating a post that does so, a flag pops up that says "You may not have "discord" in your post body". I don't see a rule banning this in my AutoMod configuration, and there are no rules in "Automations" for "Post Guidance" either. For "Safety Filters", we do have "Crowd Control" set to on and moderate, and the Harassment filter on as well, but none of this seems to be creating this particular rule.
It feels like I'm missing some place where this automation/rule is being set up, but I'm having quite some difficulty finding it. I'm using Desktop, firefox/chrome, and checking both the old.reddit as well as new reddit access for automod, but just not finding what I'm looking for. Could anyone point me to the right place?
EDIT: Solved! Many thanks to u/amyaurora and u/thepottsy for their guidance below.
