ATN: Mods - forum filters

The forum filters are being extremely overzealous it seems. This isn’t profanity last time I checked the dictionary.

Blockquote Sorry, you can’t post the word ‘d[amned’; it’s not allowed.

I’ve had to add an extra “[” just to report this :frowning:

“##### is part of quite a large group of words described as “mild expletives” and have been around for a very long time.”

:frowning_face: They’re very frequently used where I’m from (North East UK) and not considered expletives, but fair enough. Cheers for replying.

Apologies for circumventing the filter in my other post, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate word.

No worries, yeah while some words may be used quite commonly in some areas , they are still words considered inappropriate. You wouldnt use them in a job interview or on a CV/resume and as this is a business website and forum which is accessible worldwide and used by all age groups , we need to keep it both suitable for children and people of other beliefs.
