New feature on the NeoBoards?

[o_0]

I tried to post a message on the NeoBoards, and got this:
Is this new?

Didn't know it stretched.

Oooh! That is new! And very nice.

Personally I'd prefer if they wuold just TELL you what is triggering the inappropriate message, but I suppose this is the next best thing.

I was wondering when they'd add something like that to the neoboards.
I think it's already being used someplace on the site ...neomail perhaps?

It used to, at least in guilds. We called it the Brown Meerca of Doom. xD

It showed a picture of an angry brown meerca, and then repeated the same old blather about not posting profanity or using iframes in posts. Then a little farther down it would tell you what the filter had blocked. I haven't seen that page in a long time.

Yeah it's used on guilds, I get it every now and them, it's not the greatest filter, i once wrote a sentance with talking about a Pen and happend to say something along the line of: The pen is really great, it writes the best i've ever seen"

and they blocked it for a bad word...took me FOREVER to figure out the "bad" word lol....

Would've taken forever for me too. I just noticed the bad word. When I was actually ALLOWED TO WRITE ON MY PETPAGE (Sorry about the yelling), the same thing happened to me. I put in a code for a link, and got the page. I still don't know what the curse is to this day. (I lost the URL, that's probably why. )

See. that's silly. It should say:

You erote "pen is" please change. If you feel that this is incorrect, please report.

Having us hunt around to find the problem is just plain poopy in my mind.

[everconfused]

Oh I got one of those blocked bad word things once in my guild. A bunch of us were chatting, I had to step away so I wrote "I'll be back in a bit, ok?" And got the scary page. I had NO idea what on earth could be bad. I had to sit and stare at it. Some of the filters need their "thoughts" washed out with soap!

It's also ridiculous in my mind that every "www" is replaced with "-link blocked-". If someone says "Awww" or "Ewww!" their message is replaced with this odd-looking "a-link blocked-" garbage.

Is that true?? That is pretty wierd...

[autechre]

hehehe that bit is a bit funny a-link blocked- lol.

i thought at one stage at the guilds at least they changed it so you did get told what you were doing wrong, it would be nice if it happened everywhere, i spend ages trying to figure out what is so bad, and always end up re-writing the whole message

[Lady Night]

Anymore if I write a really long message in my guild I always copy it before sending, because Neo never lets you have your text back...very annoying.

But I think I'll take a bit of Annoying to save myself from a bunch of fowl language.

That, however, can be gotten around by only useing two W's.

Ya'know, "Aww" or even the popular "Awe.."
