Biographies AND Bug Reports are broken

Well I seem to have a HUGE bug on my main now. I thought it was small at first in that it said changing my biography is invalid, but then the bug report was rejected for profanity. There may be some sort of online attack directed at either me or STO. That or I've been falsely tagged intentionally by the devs... For the evidence, here is the bug report I tried to submit and was rejected, titled "Biographies Broken:"
+++
I always keep my total skill points in my bio as "Effective Level" along with "Endeavour Level". I had no issues until today when I gained my 82nd Specialization Point. I tried to change my biography to read "Effective Level: 132", but now get told my biography is invalid, as shown in the screenshot, seemingly locking me out of changing it. As there is no programming reason for that line to be rejected, it must therefore be a bug, and I would appreciate it being fixed immediately.
+++
See? No profanity anywhere to be found, and I could list my effective level all the way to 131. It almost seems like they're saying the number 132 is profanity, which makes ZERO sense. Be careful all. I don't know whether this is directed at me, STO players, or STO itself. If this is the devs... I'm going to be really angry because two things I don't tolerate are persecution and political correctness... especially if political correctness claims 132 is offensive profanity.
That said, I hope it's just a bug and not something that will infuriate me.
EDIT: I just verified, yes, STO considers the number 132 to be profanity. I removed everything from my biography except the number 132 and still got told it was invalid, but every number from 66 through 131 worked without issue. Again, hoping it's a bug. If 132 is banned because some country or culture finds the number offensive, it might be enough to make me quit the game, because that sort of pandering is unacceptable. The censorship needs to stop, and now. There is NO good reason for censorship, especially of numbers that have no offensive use.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick solution though, as lots of bugs that are way more severe stay in the game for years. It's not reasonable to expect you can change that bio soon, you'll be 133+ long before that happens
