Comment (by dd32):

 Yeah, this isn't something WordPress.org does.

 Most forum mods use `[redacted]` or `removed for privacy`.

 I'm not sure there's anything really to do here, without proactively
 changing all instances of `xxx` in all user-generated-content to be `abc`
 or with multiplication signs.. neither of which seems appropriate to me.

 Perhaps we could look at adding `sensitive data redaction` which replaces
 `/home/[^/]+/` with ellipse for logged out uses (and emails, and maybe
 even some URLs). We could also look at not having `-xxx-` in slugs.
