If it's a BO-configurable filter,
that suggests to me that
BO's computer was hacked
and someone gained their logon
credentials for this site, and was
able to modify the filter
by impersonating BO.
If so, the impersonator would have
the same powers that BO has
(at least until the computer is
cleaned and the logon credentials
changed).
To me that suggests that someone
nefarious might have the ability
to ban people, delete posts,
delete threads, edit posts, etc.
I sincerely hope that is not the case
and there is some innocent explanation for it.
A successful man-in-the-middle attack
is another possibility. It does not
necessarily mean that someone's
computer is comped. There are
various ways it could happen.
