You have a filter that already cover the whole site, and if you got any skills then it is the default thing that cover anything you add.
Adding something that wont use the filter requires you do make a whitelist, not to add it to the filter.

Why do you figure they do that? Every bit of text shown on the site? Now I might not have done much HTML, but that seems incredibly inefficient.

They don't even let you enter cuss words into the tagging box, that really has nothing to do with any "filter that covers the whole site".

What he's saying is that whether or not something is more work depends on specific facts of implementation concerning the word filter. Assume there's a filter that grabs anything a user might type into the site at any point. Since tags and posts are displayed differently, it's entirely possible that the censor code runs on the display portion of the system that gets posts and puts them up for you to see, and since tags are displayed differently it's possible that code was never made to work with tags - that would be less work. It would be easier in that case to simply disallow anything that would need to be censored from being in tags.
