Threats from Modjr

[CageFaraday]

Anybody else get a warning about their language? I was asked to stop misspelling words to bypass the profanity filter. I said I would if she'd fix the word C0CKPIT from being in the filter. She threatened me with being banned. My response was "FIX IT or BAN ME". Don't get me wrong I'm glad they've run off some of the trouble maker trolls, but nit picking words and answering requests with threats is not cool. If this is where we are headed I'll take the ban, it'll give me more free time.

Their game their rules........maybe they can send it off to the lab first to make sure it's actually dirty....and then announce the findings about a week or two from now.

You can always appeal the ban by taking a lie detector test

That wasn't the word you were warned for and you know it. No one is getting warned or banned over c0ckpit. It's not something that can be fixed as its a limitation of the software. It searches for text strings both in whole and partial words. And really, it's not that big of an inconvenience. What you did, on the other hand, was used a word that both by itself and how you used it is banned, and used it as an insult. It's a simple request and specifically pointed out by moderators in the sticky at the top of the page not to do it. People are using the censored words to elicit a response, and that just leads to fights. You can make the same point without using that language.

I didn't say that was the word you warned me for, but it was the one I requested be removed from the filter. I did use a curse word, I admit that, but while I had you on the line I made a "Request" for something that is bothersome to a lot of us. I welcome my forthcoming ban.

Not that it matters but, "she"?

I did not know that ☺

You should know them all!

received a similar warning and I deserved it. forum moderation is a thankless task. I am actually pleased they have stepped up the efforts.

I put this together. It is a little raw and doesn't have a fancy skin on it, but you can talk about whatever you want with no crazy filter (just no deliberate offensive words).http://www.forum.bartlettmotorsportengineering.com/

+1, agree totally with this...and as BBQ said "Their game their rules", anyone in disagreement can certainly do what chop did and make their own forum.

IMO the forum has become a MUCH better place since the Mods have tightened up on the monitoring...kudos.

The only word that I've come across that shouldn't be banned is D!ck. I have friends named D!ck. If I can't spell their name then that's bogus on their part. Other then that I can understand some words being banned. If you want uncensored there is always another option for a racing forum. Just look at the link on my signature or search the internet for other forums.

That explains my week ban with my response to the Ciara pit fight situation.

Had I known there was a woman present, I would have watched my manners. 😇

I have to agree with that name being banned. If it weren't it would be abused all the time.

I applaud the Mods for enforcing the dirty language rules!!!

It amazes me how many don't actually read posts and just fire off a response. I have No issue with profanity filters, I used an unapproved word, I'm fine with having my hand spanked(spankings can be fun). When I asked if they could do something about, C0CKPIT I was told they could, "ban me" in response. I thought it was unwarranted and aggressive.
