Profanity on League message boards

Bobby J · Post by **Bobby J** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:59 am

anyone else have any problems during the year trying to post on your league web page. I have tried a few times over the past week and the messages are coming back saying "You may not use profanity in your post". I have checked several times and there is not any profanity used, but obviously, it does not like at least one word I am typing

Gosh, haven't had this happen to me, but I can't imagine it is a real concern about STATS unless I hear KJ Duke and Spyhunter pipe up about it on here.

Happened to me a little while ago, and no matter how I cut down the message, it still wouldn't post lol

I am trying to congratulate the winners in my leagues and I get the profanity statement. Exactly what filter are they using? My grandmother would not even object to the language I am using. Nothing even resembles profanity!

I have been pretty quiet about the many and obvious shortcomings of STATS! over the last five years. I guess it is just two. Too frequent, too unprofessional, too amateurish, too unfortuneate, too infuriating, too bad.

Too frequent, too unprofessional, too amateurish, too unfortuneate, too infuriating, too bad. I'll forward this to STATS and get this fixed. This is something I've never seen before.

I'll alert them to look at this again ASAP.

Congrats to you lucky #%%!%$! You sons of #!%* were so #&$%%! lucky to beat me in those 20 leagues! I'll kick your #!**#* next year!

Weird, it worked on my post, Rick!

kind of weird but I think the word is "Congrats", I guess in Stat's vocab "rats" is a bad word
