Did you write a moderator for an opinion to satisfy your curiosity? I'm guessing either no mod has read your first question or those who have don't consider it worthwhile to act upon.
Perhaps nobody's complained. I'd guess the word is probably not considered seriously vulgar by most speakers of English. If a reader did earnestly complain, someone might act. (I thought about reporting it, to see what happens, but it just wouldn't have been an honest report for me. It doesn't bother me.)
What are you after, in the end? A clear and bright list of forbidden words? I think the mods don't have one, and context probably makes a big difference whether some particular strings of characters should be welcomed here or shunned.
