+makaio Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Last night a reply to oregone's Welcome to Portland post prompted a reply (upon submission) that trigger word(s) were flagged and the forum moderator must approve my post before it will show up. I used no obscene language or any phrases which could be construed as inflammatory, so I'm at a loss. Just trying to determine what word(s) in my post were flagged by the trigger bot... ...well I've tried a whole slew of words and nothing seems to return the same message. It could be these are only flagged upon initial posting and not when 'editing' ones post. Darned if I know what they're looking for.

There is a court case going on trying to free the library system of this type of junk. Dont forget there are more F*n ways to talk shiz than the folks who ferkin filter can deal with. They may be able to filter words but not the ideas. So get forking orginal folks, it doesnt take an much.

+makaio Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 OK, so whomever is moderating this forum apparently approved my post (first reply in Welcome to Portland thread) as it now shows up. Take a look at it and see if you can figure out what word or phrase might have triggered it. Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Makaio, i think the flagged word was coupons. That's just a guess, though. I noticed that my flagged post is also up now. I better delete it pretty soon as it makes me look like a total idiot. I guess when you have a program that filters out spam and advertising, sometimes a legitimate post can get delayed. This is the first time i've seen it happen though, so the system must be working almost perfectly. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+wizonkiz Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Originally posted by oregone: I would like to sell you items about losing weight. lose weight now. How much? It isn't that tape worm diet is it? Quote Link to comment
+MattandLaura Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Oh fudge. I can't seem to get that gosh durn censor no matter how much I fridgin try. A white cow jumped into a mud puddle..now that's a dirty joke. I tell you one thing they should sensor though is the subject line in half of hotmail's message. I had to turn my html off in outlook because of the porn shots sent in e-mail. Hotmail is probably the worst. Yahoo isn't so bad with porn, but the weight loss and get rich ads are many.

+makaio Posted March 30, 2002 Author Share Posted March 30, 2002 didn't flag it. I'm at a loss, unless we happened to post while they were testing and have since lowered the censorship levels. Quote Link to comment

+makaio Posted March 30, 2002 Author Share Posted March 30, 2002 But it doesn't explain my post - I didn't use that word. What I really find interesting is that the forum moderator (somebody had to OK the post) hasn't spoken up to let us know who he/she is and why the posts were flagged (mine anyway).

+Seth! Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I actually READ this entire thread. I think it means that the stuff in the General Fourm has become total schlock. (Is THAT a trigger word?) - ! Quote Link to comment
