The word "pidgeon" is in Chambers' Dictionary as an alternative spelling
for "pidgin", with meanings given to which a Chinese Civil Servant with
a modest understanding of English might take a dislike.

....Might be time to assemble of a lexicon (e.g. newline-separated words) of
so-called 'sensitive' words, as perceived in the eyes of Chinese moderators
(or 'grep'). Might be worth sanitising a site from any such words. Exclusion
from search or even blocking is probably a big punishment given the
noticeable growth of the Net in the East.
Best wishes,
Roy
