Why on earth is the word s-c-r-i-p-t blocked on T-Net?

It was blocked in a post I made yesterday, and blocked in the piece about PJ's comments below. Anybody?

The word ###### being used often in programming. I am not a computer expert, but I wonder if it does that to prevent people from attempting to hack or change or edit the coding. I’m sure someone out there with more computer programming literacy than me can say yay or nay, to the theory

It is a precaution against the use of malicious code by an individual wanting to cause harm to the site.

Others explained it succinctly but if you want to read more, you can see it here:
https://www.feroot.com/education-center/what-is-a-malicious-script/
I operated a business providing websites for customers in a particular field, and one of the top things I had to prevent against was files that had been corrupted on a client's computer that was then uploaded to their websites.
Example: client had visited a questionable website and downloaded a trojan horse along with whatever else he was trying to download (####, mp3s, whatever). This virus then operated in the background, searching for any HTML file it could rewrite to contain some client-side sçr!pt that did bad things. Then the client would upload those HTML files to his website, making an otherwise trusted, legitimate website a source of malware.
On a message board, without the sçr!pt-disabling feature, any yahoo or coot could directly inject problem code that would propagate the scenario I described by the thousands.
