I have found your messages Georges.


Hi Georges,

I have found your messages ( 3 of them ). They are in an area called "posts to be approved".

This area is only accessable by us co-moderators.

On this forum, we have a list of words that we will not allow to be used in posts. All 3 of your posts contain at least one banned word. You toned down your language for the 4th attempt & it was accepted.

I'd like to point out that the list basically contains swear words & family-unfriendly words. The "policing" of posts ( at this level ) is done by software, so if your post is NOT accepted, it is not a personal decision, it is a plain YES/NO based on the language of the post.

Usually this area of the forum just contains various spam posts that we regularly get. I just go in there & delete the posts.

SO... what is in the banned word list ? Basically words that you/ any parent would NOT use in front of their kids. Words like Rolex, eBay, Timezone etc etc ARE allowed. We do NOT use this to limit/restrict links to external websites.

Since you have posted the reply that you wanted to, I'll not bother accepting the previous messages.

Steve - Co-moderator
