FORD _

This is terrible that you have been made to feel that way. Shameful.

If there's a new banned word, they should let us know, not after the fact and then by banning someone like you who is not a trouble maker.

THAT is not what people asked for, and you are not the only one who has been made to feel less than safe as a poster.

Wow!

Maybe they need to provide us with a complete list of words that we aren't permitted to use!!??

That would sure help!

They should be able to tell us what is ban worthy. Lol.

And may I say at the risk of getting banned:

Other than the obvious cuss words it is absolutey ridiculous to not be able to say the root word of fluffy or W*cked or the nickname for Richard.

Context, context, context.

Scottie, I agree. We're treated like children here, it's ridiculous.

Now-a-days, it's impossible to truly know what the ground rules are. That's what's frustrating.

Ford, I can't imagine you not being on here. It's obvious you are a nice person. Please don't let that incident scare you away.

Well, it makes me sad that there is a "new banned word" and we're all ignorant of it, well, except for you Ford!

A list of banned words might be nice to have. Forewarned is forearmed.

Just think about the current state of the world and it will come to you. It's four letters.

I think so, too, but they won't. I emailed the Social Network Team when I had a problem with a word, but the same word was on another forum (it was the topic) used over and over and those were not deleted. Come to find out from another poster, apparently it wasn't even the word they told me "might spark controversy", it was another word that was in the same post which has an "underlying" meaning - I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary, and although very little shocks me anymore, that did! {#emotions_dlg.scared}

I asked specifically why they couldn't post a list somewhere that we could refer to, and they said they don't have a list. But they have to or we wouldn't get the red message not allowing us to submit a post because we're using a word that isn't allowed.

There's just no figuring it out....{#emotions_dlg.confused1}

I still can't figure out why the bolded word above is a problem - I even looked it up in the Urban Dictionary and it didn't say anything bad. Am I being totally dumb??? {#emotions_dlg.confused1}
