Now I do remember seeing something similar, the other day @Shamus O'Sean & @Red devil 44 were discussing the Craft Beer W....... T-shirts & I did get a pop-up saying something like " This post will have to be approved by the moderator before it is live " or similar. So then I just deleted it. I agree there really is no need for XXX language & remarks so I am good with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Site software also has a list of words that can be amended which the software will automatically flag or even change. I was on a site where 'poon' was in the list - I'd made a post about Reese Witherspoon and it got changed to Reese Withersthingy. Personally that's not the effect she has on me. What I am saying is sometimes it's not an obvious epithet - depends who got to edit that list. It's a bit nanny-type on an Aussie Beer site - they are supposed to be over 18 and Aussies use swearing almost affectionately.

Thirsty Jim Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Withersthingy ? Sounds like a function of age. I had the same issue on a horse racing site whenever I mentioned trainer Mike Moroney the censorship robot wouold change it to Mike XXXXXXey. And he is Kiwi not a Queenslander. I agree with Classic though. We are already well on the way to becoming emoji signalling phonetic grunts thanks to the internet so let us not also become foul mouthed Wayne Kerrs too. So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shockThey won't do it again. Dig it?...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia swearing is a matter of course - we should be adult enough to be able to use out language and evaluate whether or not it is being directed at the person instead of the situation. And this is not meant to be an open site, so kids should not be a consideration. Plus most kids these days swear as badly or more than their parents anyway. Edited September 6, 2021 by Coopers DIY Beer Team The terms used may be viewed as derogatory. We appreciate this was an example and was not directed at anybody, however it's best they aren't used in any context on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well, I posted in response and it got hidden. Apparently slang terms for a certain nationality are verboten. And they weren't said aggressively, just as explanation for why people should be a little less sensitive to words. The nanny state strikes again!

Tricky Micky Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Good manners and respect aside - I think that some of the censorship on forums (I don't mean rude or offensive stuff) is in line with some of the PC nonsense we are seeing everyday. That's just my opinion. Don't get me started on the cheese re-naming. "Cheer" Mick Edited September 6, 2021 by Mickep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the Black American lady who got removed from the product she made and sold - she was the first Black female millionaire from it but apparently it's racist to have her pic on the product. Or Land'O'Lakes butter - the native American girl removed. I saw it written up as, "Once more Whites remove the Indian and keep the land!" We are being manipulated by fake outrage, mostly done by radical liberal left WHITE people being offended on behalf of people who don't give a damn! And thanks Admin for OK'ing my earlier post.

Yes JM, Is all the outrage and objection real or is it merely manufactured by those who wish to manipulate acceptable social norms? Or as someone else wrote is cancel culture really a product of the elite college educated Liberal left or is it really pushed by Corporates trying to use "damage control - control situation" to add value to their business entities. Maybe a bit of both. I always say Follow the money - it's always about the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A recent post just got hidden as I spelt out a part of your anatomy where the sun don't shine. I stuck an asterisk in and all went well. A case of "computer says no" IMHO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
