Zeitgeist Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I tried to write comments that mentioned Canada’s relationship to China and a box appeared saying it wouldn’t be permitted. I’ve never seen such a box before. Just so you’re aware, the speech on here isn’t free. I didn’t write anything that wasn’t appropriate.

Canada's relationship with China...? why the hell would I care what you have to say about Canada's relationship with China? You do realize that this forum/website isn't hosted in Canada, nor do I even live in Canada. And it would be a cold day in hell that I allowed any government to tell me what can and cannot be posted in these forums. I'd pull the plug before I ever allowed that type of nonsense. @Rebound and @ExFlyer are likely correct, you could have just triggered the banned word filter. 50 minutes ago, Zeitgeist said: This is the problem with setting up algorithms to automatically moderate content.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but there isn't any sophisticated AI automatically moderating your posts... it's literally a "bad" word filter - if you use a specific word, your post is flagged for editing. I could have the post flagged for moderation, but than that just adds to me work load.
