Attn Admins: What the...?

[SteveO]

I tried to reply to the generous contributors to my thread here: http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,842577

and got this error message:

A word you have used in your post has been banned from use. Please use a different word or contact the forum administrators.

Also, it didn't tell me which word was naughty.

I can assure you the naughtiest word in my post was probably "shea" as in "shea butter."

Help? Suggestions?

....was it makeup that you put on your eyelashes? (that word is banned)...

....was it a brand name for soda C*ke? (that word is banned)....

PM me a copy of your intended post and I'll see what the problem is

PM apparently broken, since SteveO needed to crow about this oh-so-frustrating crisis publicly.

I've found that some punctuation get that same response.

Can we make this a sticky? Just to annoy Black further?:biggrin:

Coke works but that eye liner thing doesn't (sorry - we meant to ban the Macarena)

No problem in posting the request here, as it is not readily apparent how to contact the site admin
(he's generally not regular visitor here unless there is an issue)

rgG (Rhonda) or I can always be contacted if you have a question, and we
will be happy to contact admin Jim with any issues.

Just to add, the reason for these "banned" words is to keep the spammers at bay, in case anyone hadn't already figured that out.

Obviously we wouldn't want to publish this list, and Admin Jim is the only one who knows exactly which words he used, so this does occasionally crop up. You can usually figure it out by looking for words that might have been in a spam thread title, like a product name like C*oke or Ma-belline but sometimes they are a little harder to find.
