So i guess some words just set off an alarm and your post goes to purgatory- to be condemned to eternal disappearance or salvation on the board.
In Australia it means something different altogether, and not your posterior either. Americanos have been advised not to use the term "fan knee pack" because it is highly offensive. This is what they are callled here.
The previous post I made on this thread was reviewed by moderators but I cannot see there any word or combination of words that could be even remotely considered risky. Maybe it was earmarked because it was my first post after the big TT meltdown. Let's see what happens with this one....

So, if I am to understand MTL, the problem here was that they want to censor what they view as inappropriate language. If that is the case will they censor the word "fan knee" from an American, where it is an innocuous term for your posterior, or will it be censored because to Brits it is highly offensive with an entirely different meaning? If that is the case, then the moderators must admit to being ethnically/regionally/nationally bias? After all, this is a board specializing in semantics.47
following up to #42-44- when you say a word like 'Bigger' with a 'u' it goes for moderation and doesn't appear immediately. However, in this case, as you can see, the mods approved my post and it showed up in the right place, albeit later than posts #43 and 44.So i guess some words just set off an alarm and your post goes to purgatory- to be condemned to eternal disappearance or salvation on the board.
