I was told I was saying profanity for posting "=)" in an n-mail. O_o

HOW is that a bad word...wait, it's not even a word. Maybe it was just acting up at the moment,but geez, I spent 8 min typing and editing my n-mail till it finally letted it through.

Their filter is really weird.

that was my attempt at sarcasm...sigh

Once on my guild we were discussing the Blues. I Couldn’t post the name of one of my favorite players, John Lee Hooker, got blocked everytime.
Oh, well, the filter has a reason to be, but it could be a a bit smarter.

The filter is terribly dumb. I got a message stopped by it once and I couldn't for the life of me work out what it was that was wrong. I ended up writing the same thing in such a round about manner that the person who got it must have thought I was incredibly dumb...or that English was not a language I was well versed in :/

Methinks the filter is as smart as the freeze bots and lawyer bot!

I've had trouble with it before...I have to remmeber to spell check what I write now, 'cause misspeled words can trigger it. (HEY! It's fighting the newbies bad spelling! XD) oddly though, it no longer lets me write sniggered, I HAVE to spell it snigered. >_> (You'll have to look at the two words for a moment to get it)

At the very least, it should tell you what phrase or word is blocked like every other cheap filter out there.

When "least it's" is removed a three letter word between them disappears

The filters are odd anyhow, it once told me "p" was a bad word O.o

It gets so annoying to have to decipher your own unoffensive writing -seems they've gone just a wee bit too far with the words. Then again it's not their fault there are so many idiots that think neopets is a great place to talk about body parts and swear.

I can see where in the phrase it would find something vulgar, but that's still way too far-fetched by human standards.

I wish you didn't have retype the whole message, stupid filter, sometimes I spend ages typing it out, only to get an error. In neomail, too, when you forget to add the username, silliness. It can't be that hard to make a decent filter, right?

Well, I typed in 5 secs, and guess what the filter thought it was?

At least it wasn't... no, wait, can't post that. Imagine someone telling someone else to go somewhere at a few seconds past a certain time.

One time the filter kept rejecting my post when it contained the name of one of my pets, the name isn't even bad. I eventually had to say "my lupe" because she was a lupe at the time.

I don't see why they can't just get their lazy butts up and moderate neomail themselves instead of having an automated thing do it >_<

The filters pick the weirdest things up in neomail, on the boards and even in guild boards.

I once was having a really great chat with some guildmates and had to step away, so I typed, "I'll be back in a bit, ok?" and got the big profanity page. I did finally figure out what they thought I was trying to type, but I did have to sit and stare at it for a few minutes. Then I was like What?! it was the word bit followed by the , and ok. Apparently the filters thought I was trying to say an evil word.

And I've had problems replying to a neomail, just clicking reply which has the original message as a "quote". This one really confounds me. If there's something wrong with the original message, how did it go through?

That made me laugh...good question though. The filters are WEIRD. >_>
