Why is the word ****l censored?

Incase there is confusion I said m-e-t-a-l. I don't understand its not an offensive word. Why is it censored?

The word metal shows up as ****l because words like meta and script are censored on Sherdog to stop people using malicious HTML code in their posts which can cause redirects to porn sites and other shenanagins. (Google "meta tags" if you want to know more)

^^^^^ lol at me trying to be clever.
