Words banned from Ebay feedback forms

Why does ebay ban legitimate words that are not offensive from their online feedback forms, yet allow derogatory and vulgar terms instead?

I bought an item of special underwear that was called a "**bleep** sleeve/ cover pouch" which is basically a sleeve worn over the **bleep** and scrotum as underwear

(https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303498011376)

. When I tried to place feedback after getting reminders from Ebay to do so, it would not allow me to use the word PEN1S as part of the description of the item, although this is what the name is and what it is listed as. Ebay's message was "We do not allow swear words". However, trying other vulgar substitutes such as DICK and C0CK seem to work, so please explain this!!

What lurid colours.  My beloved has just looked over my shoulder and said "what are they"  [not - fortunately - what are you looking at those for?]

All done in the best possible taste as the late Kenny Everett would say.
