I understand, and in that context I'd would say it's alright to post links and to discuss the subject. The fact remains that the word is prohibited here and in most of polite society (what remains of it). I believe you when you say you weren't trying to sneak the word in, but the fact is that there were mixed letters with the word itself in bold so it would stand out. This is no different that putting asterisks in between letters so the bot won't catch them, such as d*o*g, and people have been brigged for that.

btw way would it be acceptable in the original Old Norse?

No, no more than it would be acceptable to use Old English, or proscribed words from other modern languages. The bot doesn't catch everything, but we try to.
It's better to avoid it altogether. Trying to be tricky is inviting trouble.
And, as someone I read said recently, "If you have to use profanity to be interesting, then face it - you're not that interesting."
