Forum filter?
 Is there a "profanity filter" on posts? I don't see my reply in a certain thread. I may have used the word <damn>...

Re: Forum filter?
AFAIK, it only ****'s out certain words, and I'm pretty sure damn isn't one of them. I don't think there's any filter that outright rejects posts.

Re: Forum filter?
No there is not a filter that totally deletes posts. That is up to the moderator or admin's discretion. Could there have been some sort of error when you submitted the post? I could check with the mods but unless it was inflamatory or slandering another poster I doubt that removal of the post was the case.
And Will is right, the filter simply ****'s out banned words.

Re: Forum filter?
From the Board Rules :
Quote:
Try to restrict use of profanity to words you'd hear on primetime network TV. Linking to websites with inappropriate ad banners is also forbidden. Using a "Not Safe for Work" (NSFW) label on threads, pictures or posts is acceptable for items which are appropriate on the forum but inappropriate for work. Strong profanity should generally be restricted. "Damn," "Hell," and "Microsoft" are all okay.

Re: Forum filter?
So I can't use **** or ****? That seems silly. What about ****? Oh, I guess ***** is out too. *****.

Re: Forum filter?
If a moderator deletes a post they will most likely notify you about it. However I have never seen a posted deleted by a moderator in the four years that I have been here. I have seen them moved before but again, you should have received a PM if that was the case.
