Can Not Post - Says Swears But...No Swears?!

[pinkfloydeffect]

I can not post due to a site error:

"Ooops, your post contains some curse words. Please remove them in order to post.

We strive to have the most family friendly forum on the internet and this includes keeping all language G-rated.

Also, please don't try to use symbols in place of letters to post curse words, such actions will not be tolerated.

Please watch what you type in the future and help us keep a clean running forum."

This is crazy, my post contains no swears or simulated swears...

Sometimes that happens for no obvious reason. Try rewriting it.

 

[JoyfulNoise]

Yup, I’ve had that happen too. Just re-write it a bit. The filters aren’t perfect and sometimes pickup weird letter sequences as swear words. TFP uses very strict filtering to keep the site from devolving into the toilet bowl which happens all too often on web forums.

Sometimes a word contains another word that triggers the filter. I wish the filter would point out the problem.

 

[JamesW]

The filter might be clogged up and maybe needs a backwash or deep cleaning.

 

[pinkfloydeffect]

Well that is a bit frustrating. There should be tolerance as your account status grows too, those with thousands of posts with no infractions should be allowed to bypass the filter as trusted members. After all you've earned it. I will try changing a few things.

I found a way around it, I just posted the same exact post and this is how I did it.

I posted just the first paragraph, then went and immediately edited it by pasting the next paragraph. I did this a few times paragraph by paragraph until my entire original post was there.

Glad you found a way around it. So you are saying you did not change any words? Just did a copy/paste/edit paragraph by paragraph? I will talk to our IT guy about it.

Thanks for letting us know AND finding a way around it!

That is correct; I changed no words.

Hope your IT guy can work with it, I am an IT Support Specialist by trade.

I just tried starting a new topic and got the same message. I am all but done with this site, you will never gain more active users at this rate. PoolSpaForum here I come

Anything offensive or close to swears here? I had to edit line by line AGAIN: Using DeFoamer With Spa Purge?

Our IT guy says he sent you a message about this. I think he said he sent it to your email. Please look in your junk folder if you did not see it on your main page. He has some ideas but needs to talk to you.

We would like to get this sorted out and hope our IT guy can figure it out with your help.

I had it happen too somehow my first post. Somehow it looked like it had signed me out at the same time. I copied my post, then signed back in, told it to "remember me" this time, pasted my exact post, and had no issues. I've had no issues since. I always tell it to remember me now though.
