Is it possible to get a list

Of words that are forbidden to use in the forum? I imagine there are a few obvious ones that we can all agree are swear words but other words, especially those with more than one meaning and use are not so obvious.

You can't use any of the following:
Don
In the old forum Admin had access to the list and could add to or remove from that list.
Today that list is controlled by HQ exclusively, staff does not have access. Sorry.
I could give you a list but then I would get banned for using the words... Just Kidding, I have no idea if that is possible. As a moderator I have had to just "learn" what will get you into trouble by experiencing it.
Sometimes as words evolve to take on new or different meanings problems arise. I recall the good Captain had to go in and make a change because every time I used the word skeet, it got bleeped out. Heck, at the time I didn't even know it had an alternate meaning. Bob
Also last count I was quoted was over 4,000 words on that list.
I don't know 4000 words. But I know what polite is.
Start using some, you'll find out soon enough.
WOW-That's alot more than George Carlin's "Dirty Words"😜
not sure of all of them , I know I got warned over a common three letter word that's used to describe a 4 legged animals we have discussed recently, on here and the word is used countless times in the bible go figure ,
but their site their rules
Substituting words for the same thing could put you on the Island of stupidity.
Yes. And the creative spelling of words is why the list is over 4K.
It would seem to me that getting "creative" will get you in hotter water than inadvertently getting a word bleeped.
If HQ is listening, I think that simply changing a word to [bleep] is far preferable to the old way of substituting something ridiculous. There were some pretty bizarre substitutes at times.
Wow I did a test and alot made it through that I didn't think would.
You can use any word you want of the forum.
You may be able to use some only once though.
Bruce you could call the mayor of misfit isle, I would bet he could provide you with the list you need.........
