Re: Naughty words
In Response To: Re: Naughty words ()

There's been many a time when these naughty words stop an innocently written message from being placed on the board and Gregs list shows some common used terms that stop the message from being posted.
This is (I presume) to stop the mountains of junk mail that flood the web and saves us looking at articles that have nothing to do with Genealogy.
I always preview my message first before posting and if it's stopped, I either check it with Gregs list, or by using copy and paste, work out that the naughty word is in the top half or bottom half, then I locate which line, then which word. Once you have found the innocent word and you still want to use it, place a dot, space or minus sign in the middle of the word.
Not ideal, but at least it can continue a persons message.

If your message is lengthy, you might want to consider writing it on one of your computer programs like word, notepad etc and once finished, copy the article onto the Post message board. That way, if you make a mistake, you haven't accidentally deleted your original message.
