Title says it, is it punishable offense to link to something that says a ZT word for instance, or something lewd?

If it's zero tolerance chances are it's not allowed.

on the board or in-game?

Assuming you're not talking about forum bans:

I never heard of anybody being punished for saying lewd things, so I doubt linking to something lewd would result in a punishment. Generally Riot doesn't seem to care too much about things that are "sexually offensive" outside of summoner names. I wouldn't bet my account on it, though. Linking to a ZT word as a means of circumventing the automated detection probably warrants punishment though, as it's still clearly against the spirit of the rules. That said, precisely because it circumvents automated detection I wouldn't exactly hold my breath, since that means it will require a manual review which are relatively rare.

Since there is a warning before you click a link I would say no?

I think it would be almost impossible as links like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/z4z3XlK

or this: https://bit.ly/2Jl0Hmw

could both reference almost anything without being able to know. They both reference a kitten video but for a textbot they would look the same as a pornographic link.

i would say yes if it contains bad words and no otherwise
