Can't post the word "eighteen"

I tried to post a message in this forum which contains the two digits 1 and 8 forming the number eighteen, and got the message:

An error occurred: Sorry, you can't post the word '1~8'; it's not allowed.

(I added the ~ for posting this)

The post went through after I deleted this number that was somewhere in the text.

Thanks for letting us know, @AlexisW! We've had a flurry of spam messages recently with eighteen+ in the title, and I didn't realize that it would disallow just the number too. I'll remove it from the watched words list.
