We are being really censored now..

Posted by: Geoff P on 31 October 2008

The following appeared when I wrote a short post on nothing controversial as far as I can think.

..Thank you for contributing to this forum. Unfortunately, your post will not be displayed until after it is approved by community administrators, because one or more trigger words were used in your post.

Not sure it is worth staying here anymore. this is ridiculous.

Wonder how long this post will be allowed???

regards
Geoff

Or polls?

Is it so we can't have a poll about bringing back PMs?

I am curious as to how one comes under moderation? Do you need a minimum number of posts to get promoted to "instant post" status? And you get relegated if you mispost?

I used to be able to post directly and now I am told my ability to post directly has been removed.



You could contact me via Naim and let me know what your name is. I suspect that animated characters seldom join forums.

IIRC, PMs were being used as a means of easy communication by "gangs" or "ciques" to bully others and distort various threads. Removing the PM facility reduced the ease with which these groups could form. But as we all know, it doesn't entirely eliminate the problem.

It would be nice to get both PMs and polls back.

I seem to have lost a few posts but might not have read all the fineprint in the T&Cs. Winker
