Just to confirm on what constitutes the reason for my ban

Profanity has always been against policy. The Mature language filter isn’t and never has been a tool that allows you to use profanity, either masked or not. It is there to serves as a temporary shield, to help parents of minors and others who do not wish to see it, to block it.
