I'm seriously considering never quoting anything again. I might just use the lame system of listing the post number that I'm responding to, which of course fails if any post in the thread gets deleted.

You can link directly to a post, which also doesn't work if it gets deleted, but otherwise will jump right to the post:

Though not sure what happens if enough content is gone to change the page 🤔

I just got automuted a little over a day ago because of the &^%*&%#*-ing quote system. I'm not sure exactly which word set it off. Have I said before that I hate this &^%*&%#*-ing system?

staff needs to be reminded how poor it is so maybe they'll do something about it. on not knowing which was the 'bad' word, this is another fail. IF they are going to continue this lame system, they need to tell us which words are off limits.

i was recently muted, and when reinstated, the staff member wrote that i shouldn't use curse words again or that might automute me. except, i didn't use any curse words. the last time i was muted the same thing happened. i wrote back to the staff member asking where in the text was any curse word.

no answer.

fail.

Thinking of the fires in Hawaii, am I able to write the term flame ret*rdant?

Wits-end

#660. You just used the four-letter F word again. 🫢🤦‍♂️

i don't think so. if memory serves correct, i received the red banner for writing something about a scientific study showing "X" would ret*rd the growth of certain cells.

of course, i'm no staff member. perhaps if they would read this topic and, you know, help the members, we would know.

Maybe the management could do a "seven words you can't say on TV" kind of video for those who are interested in knowing the boundaries.

AlCzervik

if they make me a staff member for a week and tell me the words, i'll try to come up with a carlin-esque routine.

DrSpudnik

I'm sure it would kill!

got a red warning a few days back quoting a kid who typed shut the f up in abbreviations. soon the letter f will be banned.

The problem, of course, is that we do not know the list. We do know that it contains words that it should not.

Elroch seems to be most recent auto-mod casualty as of a couple of minutes ago...can somebody restore him please? wink.png

Edit: Thanks, that was fast.
