Add "spook" to the word filter (hexbear.net)

I had a post removed today for using the word "spook" in reference to government agents, a common usage that I see around the site, because it is a racial slur, although ive never seen it used with that intent (not that it matters), and it only gets removed maybe 10% of the time. In order to be consistent and not offend any comrades I would propose adding it to the word filter so its removal will be uniform and not open to mod interpretation.

I personally don't mind as an endeavor to be inclusive to any comrades

But man oh man is Stirner gonna cry when he awakens from his deep sleep and finds out that word is a slur now.
