So, here's what's happening. Fall Guys fans have started a recent hashtag in response to the lack of bug fixes and transparency from Mediatonic, so of course we're going to discuss it in the official Fall Guys server. But now, any time anyone tries to send a message saying that combination of words, it gets auto-deleted. Even art posts with just the hashtag in the image are being deleted, even if the art is completely unrelated.
This isn't like saying dead ___ (don't want to get auto-deleted), this is borderline censorship of the community. How is this okay?
#Messages with the currently trending hashtag related to Fall Guys getting auto-deleted. Why?

We've decided to blacklist the phrase as we've had chat flooded by it and in general it's just spam. Discord isn't really the place for the hashtag, especially with #game-feedback right there and other methods of chatting. We don't need walls of people spamming the phrase.
Also, to answer the last part "How is this okay?" We, the moderators (+ community team when applicable) can do essentially anything we deem fit within this community, as long as we have reasons for it. For example, we'd never blacklist "hi" because that's a greeting. But we will blacklist things that just have no place here, things we're asked to (by MT), or things that may have malicious intent/spam.
