It indeed happen to me more than a month ago !!

A boardie had forgot what he was doing by posting a graded comic that wasn't all that it should be, and I simply typed in that 4 letter word to remind him to edit or delete post, politely. It got the red box, I was able to word it differently before it was approved.

I have never got a strike or report on my account, and I thought somehow that I had messed up and was going to be given a demerit, nothing ever came of it though 

I edited my post the 1st time it happened and it still stayed red until it was approved.

Once it's flagged it needs to be released, I think.

Yep.  Same thing happened to me.  Apparently, any mention of the other guys' acronym causes the post to be hidden until a moderator can look at it.  As you note, even editing out the acronym doesn't cause it to automatically go through.  My post was an observation that the other board is too disorganized for me to spend time there. Too bad CGC decided they to take their "no mention of the other company" this far.  

It is unfortunate and unprofessional. And it will likely have the opposite effect that it was intended to have.

I assume someone in higher management made the call.

No politics, no mention of the competition. I suppose that's fair on a forum with well judged moderation boundaries.  Guess we'll just have to stick with comic related bollocks, wankers, terrorism and suicide.  

I've seen people post it, seemingly with no problems though. They should have a warning. I thought I was being singled out. Not glad others had to go through it, but glad no one so far got reprimanded for using it so far...

@Architecht I'm ready for my strike now. While I'm away,  please add 'wanker' and 'bollocks' to the profanity filter. Thanks ?

Someone needs their meds again.

It used to go through on the old boards without a problem.  I can't remember whether I had posted it on the new boards before my recent failed attempt.  So, I don't know whether the ban was there from the start of the new boards or whether it was a more recent decision.

So, if there is an inappropriate words list, and those words do not appear when you post them (without any manipulation), does that mean that any word which does appear when you post it is, by definition, acceptable? 

If so, wanker. 

 

An unmanipulated wanker is acceptable but an unmanipulated 'Philip K' isn't? 

What manner of madness is this?! ?

You don't have to be a butthole about it.

it's a step in the right direction, they at least allow posts now with CBCS, before it would immediately be zapped regardless of context, at least now they allow some (albeit not great) discourse

This thread should have been titled "Anyone having a problem with the Chat Board Censorship Software"?

Maybe they could do the same "moderator review" thing for this word -  办美国文凭

They may have to scan posts in order to prevent hackers from posting malicious scripts or something.  I noticed some notifications emails I received were in Chinese and had nothing to do with comics or anything comic related.  

The Mag forum is now filled with new posts all in Chinese!

To be safe @ADAMANTIUM I'd stick with the wanker.  The four letter words are always likely to cause problems but you'll always be fine with our six lettered friend. 

Good life advice right there

Yet they can't censor the massive amount of spam. Fix this carp.

No. There are unacceptable words. There are also words that are judged acceptable or not based on context and the poster's intentions. There doesn't have to be an effort to mask, either, for there to be a violation.
