Tried to make a post on Macresource, got this message:

"A word you have used in your post has been banned from use. Please use a different word or contact the forum administrators."

Emailed administrators; nothing yet.

Does anyone have a list of banned words?

I expect it's a continually updated list from the phorum provider. I don't recall if it's still Dan (DealMac founder created and then sold/sells his phorum software..)

I know it's multilingual. I just drop _ in the middle of SFW words that get rejected.

Here's what I tried to post:

"Goal—transfer Safari bookmarks to Firefox (FF). Have searched and tried three different methods—all failed.

First difficulty is that the Firefox controls are different than those shown in instructions

Am using iMac 2013 with Catalina, FF 98.0.1 and Safari 15.1

FF already has bookmarks—is that causing a problem?

I could set them all manually, but would rather transfer them…

What to do? And how?

Suggestions appreciated!"

I entered this line-by-line, previewing after adding each line. The problem seems to have been that I had a URL in line two after the word "instructions." That URL would take the user to web site Leavo. After deleting that URL there was no more error message.

Comments?

It's not a banned word, it's a banned website you were linking to. That location was used by spammers COUNTLESS times and is not allowed.

That's clear; thanks. ^$%#@&@ was not.

And actual banned words that prevent posting are rare, the more typical case is "censored words" where you can still post, but the targeted words get displayed as special characters when the post is viewed.

Not to worry

and

spic

are still hunky dory!

But they seem to gotten wise to bean enthusiast and person whose back is watery.

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

I hope they ban 'spic' quickly.

I get tired of seeing posted over and over and over.

It seems to be a forum favorite for name calling, given how prolific its use.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

If they clean it up, will it be spic & span?

Hmm. Does the forum allow George Carlin's seven?

American comedian George Carlin first listed in his 1972 "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" monologue. The words, in the order Carlin listed them, are: "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits".

Apparently so!!

Mr. Lahey: A lot of people, don’t know how to drink. They drink against the grain of the liquor. And when you drink against the grain of the liquor? You lose.

Randy: What the @#$%& are you talking about?

For the longest time the Electronic Nanny wouldn't allow mention of the most iconic Lamborghini of the 70s and 80s, the Countach.

Edited to add: Apparently now it's okay with it.

If you hit a word that you need to post but the nanny objects, just highlight a single letter and change the color of it. Then it will post clearly.

You don't have to "change" it per se. Just define it as black, which breaks up the word with the BB code for "000000" the filter doesn't recognize it, since it's just a patter match.

No longer a banned word...
