You can thank me for adding that censor.
Also, I'm pretty sure there's no way to censor absorb -> suck while the suck -> absorb censor exists, due to the way ProBoards' word censors work. It doesn't just check if a word is in the censored word list and change it if it is; it instead goes through every censor, in order, and applies it to the word if necessary, checking if any part of the new censored word has a censor.
For example, suppose we had a -> e, and ef -> eg as censors (in that order), and you typed "af". It would check the first censor, which would change "af" to "ef", and then the second censor which would change "ef" to "eg". However, suppose the censors were the other way around. It would check ef -> eg first, and so "af" would be unchanged, and then a -> e, changing "af" to "ef" and leaving it at that.
So, in the case where we have absorb -> suck, as well as suck -> absorb, the word "absorb" would be censored to "suck", and then it would check the second censor, which would censor "suck" back to "absorb".
