ok – here is the deal -I find it hard to believe someone from this planet would not know the f-bomb was a no no – it just defies comprehension

as for following you around – I follow all the threads I am involved in – so the stalking thing is ….well, ridiculous

to resolve this, I will unblock your account
however, the original thread will remain deleted
you may re-post your problem when I unblock you

edit – block removed

I wasn’t swearing at YOU or towards ANYONE on this site. I wasn’t purposely trying to drop f-bombs. I linked one of my websites that had a swear in it and then I inquired why you removed the content.

Just to elaborate, this has nothing to do with who you’re swearing at. Swear words are not welcome here in any shape or form. If your URL contains a swear word, I recommend using a URL shortener to mask it, and please note that it is NSFW next time. To many people, language is just as offensive as nudity and violence.

James, that was ALL I needed. Someone to tell me why my topic/url was removed and WHY I was banned. I did not know swear words in urls are prohibited on this site. I also did not know that the protocol is to use a url shortener for instances where you have to link a url with a curse in it. Every site has different rules, thus I’m not going to assume that the protocol at blahblah.com is the same here at www.remarpro.com. I made efforts to solve the manner (by using asterisks), but I was still shut out without any reason or guidance. Thank you for the clarification.

@james an URL shortener isn’t going to help keep someone from viewing a NSFW site and if you are going to help someone with such a site, I suppose a NSFW WARNING and/or post tag should be used and then we click at our own risk.

Is this something that’s in a sticky post somewhere so folks who have such sites can abide by this rule?

Personally, I’d rather see the word in an URL than click and have it in my face. Either way, I’d like fair warning.

And posters with such sites seeking help on this forum (or any forumfor that matter) need to understand that volunteers here come from a lot of backgrounds, walks of life. Some, like me, might be helping from their offices during down time so that’s an issue that seems there’s more and more a need to address, what with WP becoming so popular to drive just about any and every site, including NSFW sites.

Just my two.

Is this something that’s in a sticky post somewhere so folks who have such sites can abide by this rule?

Yes, it’s in the forum welcome message linked to from the welcome… sticky topic in every forum ??

@sambol … OT but I have a friend who is a mom blogger and as pure as the driven snow. You just know she’s the kind of gal you wouldn’t utter the word “Darn” in front of, much less anything else. Imagine my surprise, and my elevated heart rate, when she posted a notice on Twitter recently about her new blog series, the “F-Word.” Relax, it’s posts about Family, Friends, Freedom… you get the point. But coming from her, as we know her, we thought it was pretty funny. ??

Thanks for posting that MrMist. Many bypass that (like myself) but I found something very interesting that was posted there:

Warn About Adult Content

Some sites contain content that is not suitable for a general audience or for viewing whilst at work. To avoid creating problems for anyone who is trying to help you, please add NSFW to either the topic title or the content of your post as a warning if you think your site falls into this category. (Otherwise your post / links may be removed.)

Hmm. I don’t see anything about account removal/banning/blocking. Just post/links. Which further proves my point: I was treated unfairly.

that is funny, joni
thanks

…And even though my account is back to normal, it still doesn’t justify the fact that a moderator abused their authority. That matter still needs to be addressed.

Thank you.

they were removed – you re-posted them in editing
you were blocked to get your attention – it obviously worked
now are you going to drop it? – because I’m not playing this innocent routine with you any more

did you read the entire page?

The Bad Stuff

AKA what not to do…

We need to keep the forums friendly, so, occasionally, topic content will be moderated. This might mean anything from the light editing of some posts to complete removal of topics and deactivation of accounts. It should really go without saying, but the following are likely candidates for moderation – Spam links, offensive posts, posts without content, flames, and references to adult content that have not been highlighted as NSFW. Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Every post is judged on its own merits.

Now surely you have had your complaint listened to and answered, isn’t it time to drop the subject now?

Actually that’s right down at the end.

So, according to the rules, your account was blocked. It was probably blocked for the whole of about an hour or so, so all things considered there’s no harm done here.

Continued debate upon this will serve little purpose.

Obviously you all back up for each other so of course none of you would see it my way. Just as long as my account remains normal, without someone tampering with it due to overreacting & abusing their power, then you won’t “hear” my mouth.

Good day.

Topic is resolved.
