Do guests have certain words clipped from their posts automatically? I went to preview a post a little while ago and the words h@te " (in the context of ‘I’d h@te to see’) and “girl” (in the world ‘girlfriend’) were removed. Anyone know what gives? ---

I’ve never heard of that either, but sometimes the reply boxes will do wierd stuff. for example sometimes I might try to type the wrod “great” but after I type the “g” the next letters will come out in front causeing me to type “reatg.” Wierd. ---

Spelling anything with “@” in place of a real letter flags your message for shredding by the hamsters. ---
