Having the full list of banned keywords, or even acknowledging there is a list, could cause drama. And it's easily evaded if people know about it, like when reddit banned "Tesla" posts got through by misspelling it "Telsa".
There's also other stuff like a controversy filter, that detects articles with more comments than votes and penalizes them. I try to avoid commenting in articles that are getting close to the limit to avoid triggering it.
Usually, some numbnut "programmer" sets a no-login and a simple password as a secret service account. It invariably is found, and badness ensues.
Whereas login/password is a 1/password_space chance of getting it. It's the combination of a default hidden account and no way to know/change it.
