That's what I've been telling you for ages just the same :lol:
It doesn't work as intended, thus I thought you'd be eager to fix it. Or at least have a look at the code ;)
(I'd fix it myself, but I've never really looked into that particular page's source code and would rather give you dibbs.) ('Giving dibbs', does that work in English?)

Don't know if this is intended behavior and if this has been said before (I searched, didn't find anything), however, when you add a rule that moderates the post when someone uses the f-word, the post will be moderated even when it is posted by an administrator. Yes, it does what it should do, but it doesn't really make sense when you can approve it anyway.

So my question is: is this intended behavior?

Yes, this is absolutely intended behaviour. It may not be entirely logical to you, but it's doing *exactly* what you've told it - moderate the post because it contains a given word. If you don't want that behaviour to apply to admins, make an exclusion for them - moderate the post... if it contains a given word AND user is not in group Administrators.

Consider the other practical case - it would help discourage moderators from using profanities.
