There are a number of words that are not permitted for use in forum posts, for example specific drug references, the word that describes non consensual sex, and a myriad of others.
And the automated removal software rules seem to be a little basic. For example, I like to use the word "tumblew.e.e.d" in posts, but as I often forget about the little censor robot, the post appears as "tumble" since the dumb algorithm used can't distinguish that I am not talking about drugs..!
And yesterday two of my posts disappeared for reference to the non consensual sex word.
Anyone else find these rules just bloody irritating..?!  |

They can be a minor annoyance alright but I absolutely understand the reasoning and intentions behind them. Similar to the no 'nudity' rule on Insta or FB - You'll find tonnes of sex workers complaining that their lewd pics have been removed but, in my humble opinion, those minor inconveniences are worth it to stop Insta, FB (and indeed sites like these) becoming a haven for the less savoury sexually related activities - human trafficking etc.
A small price to pay for being able to maintain some semblance of ethical morality.  |

Meh... only ever happened to me once and that was yesterday... I only posted cos Pete’s word play was as always top notch.
That aside I understand the non consensual references etc being removed... those are potentially slippery slopes and it makes sense for the site to protect itself against any possible fallout.
