Bad Word Filters are Activated

Sorry did not save screen. 

was able to pick up screen as tab was open.  You should have it now.

Agree with others: if you want to be effective, let your filter flag  word when it is typed.  The idea that a poster is going to spend ten minutes ever post to review and memorize some list of "bad words" is a bit naiive.

OK, if you see this happening again, or anyone else does, please post in the support section of the forums.

I have an update to made to the forum software, maybe it was a bug that will be fixed in this new version.

I'll also modify how the word filter works, which should stop the restriction of the posting.

Do you have a screenshot. Do you know what word was causing this issue?

This is actually the norm for me, too. I have to experiment at eliminating those or that word and keep trying to post to see if that was the word. Yesterday a word was highlighted, though, and I was actually surprised.

Edit: I guess maybe you made a change that worked. Thanks!

On the other hand, for the first time today, a word got *****  out in my post instead of blocking the posting and being highlighted as banned. That's new. To me anyway.

I can actually specific if the "bad word" is "blanked out" with **** or whether the word stops the post completely (and you're asked to edit) - depending on the word.

I still need to update all the words to be blanked out, rather than restricting the act of posting.  

But again, I recognize the members can still make adjustments to the word, getting creative with symbols and characters - but that's life.
