Banned Words on Forum

Ice_Tiger

A post saying the word "free serve" when joined to make one word was banned reminded me that I was going to post this thread. Some banned words are obvious but some banned words are really hard to fathom.

For example, using the normal shortened version of "Dagenham & Redbridge" is banned. So is the usual version of Middlesbrough's leading goalscorer this season (begins with a K). A pain on betting threads.

I also discovered that a childs word for a cat isn't allowed in the chatbox. I can see how it could be used as an insult but it surely should be allowed for conversations between players with feline user names.

I appreciate that commenting on this thread will be difficult because you won't be able to say what you want to say but it seems strange that "normal" words are banned yet you can use offensive words by putting hyphens between each letter.

Bit of a blast from the past! Seem to remember that ISP only existed for a couple of years in the 90s before being bought out. Why did you want to talk about them?

On a site i used to frequent, my table name was once Ring Peace.

Some lady from Admin phoned my mobile and asked me to change or my account would be suspended.

It was me Nosey.

I still use a free-serve email address which I have had for years & years.

Free-serve was bought out by "Wannadoo" who were then bought out by someone else & then later were bought out by Orange, then orange changed it's name to EE & bt bought a piece of it.............

I really should get a new email address set up

Just made me think that the list of banned words must run into thousands if seemingly innocent words are banned.

Never understood why Forest was banned from the chatbox... is it right that SkyPoker control the banned list there, but the forum is a generic one and the 3rd party creater of it chooses what is banned.

I can kinda see why Boro's goal machine is banned given the anti-semitic nature of his name lol

My alias, which is kinda understandable but did think people were constantly having a pop at me when 1st started out here.

Also 'star wars' not aloud, after a bit of mucking about it appears 'war' is ok but not 'wars', strange, sure there is an explanation but not sure what.

Every now and then a forum-banned word crops up in a player alias. A big headache if that he/she cashes in a tournament that's reported in the results thread. I have to find and edit that alias or the whole post gets refused.
