Guild Board Filter Problems

Thu Feb 14, 2008 5:28 pm

That filter Meerca is blocking just about anything I want to say. I went back and tried to post just little pieces of my message at a time and they're all being blocked. Is there some super filter thing going on right now? Do you know the non-html non-code non-obscene words that might be triggering it?

Here is the original message but each part is blocked:
Apparently there is a plot going on but it is almost over with. I can't be bothered to figure it out this late. Does that make me lazy or just normal?

I'm taking introduction to Criminology and it is going alright. I think I have a B so far.

I'm on the list for a possible job as a radio show co-host. They've narrowed it down to about thirty people. I'm excited.

I've noticed this happening increasingly often when I post on my guild.

I read the other day that they are currently blocking apostrophies for some reason. That might be why your messages are getting blocked.

TNT have some silent (and sneaky) battle against correct grammer!

WOW! That would really make sense, (as to why my posts were being blocked) but why... escapes me.

Apostrophes have always caused coding problems on Neo. Some item names don't have them and others do.

The apostrophe problem on the guild boards started early in the week - but it seems you can still use them on the chatboards.

Just tested a post without apostraphes and it worked...that is SO ridiculous. It hasn't always been that way...I wonder what happened... o_O

Should be fixed now, woo!

Why can you not use punctuation such as periods, commas, or apostrophes while posting on guild boards? I am a very grammatical person when I type, so this is very annoying when I am told I said something bad and it shows ". as a bad word. Could you please explain or fix this? You can use punctuation on the Neoboards perfectly fine, so why not guild boards? -genestarwind203
Whoops! That wasn't exactly intentional. We've fixed the error so y'all can go back to postin' with apostrophes. PS: *highfive* for being an Outlaw Star fan!


The Editorial has been quite helpful this week!

Hmmm, apostrophes still seem to be blocked on my guild board.

Apostrophes are still glitchy in my guild - sometimes they go through and sometimes they don't.
