"Bad" words

"Bad" words

Dear SANE,

The forum is wonderful - far better than I imagined or hoped when I joined. Thank you!

Could we please have a list of the "bad" words via email to make some sensible suggestions on ammendments? R00ts and G00k? Really? I have not seen anything on this forum that suggests that people are going to use abusive or insulting language - even when they are clearly quite unwell. Please treat us as adults not preschoolers! I believe there are enough sensible and supportive people who are highly active here (in addtition to the wonderful mods) that if anyone ever was abusive it would be reported almost immediately.

This would have to be the biggest ongoing problem with the forum from day one. It is very annoying when you write something totally innocuous only to get the "bad" word error. I know some changes were made in the list, but I think more are needed. At the very least please make us privvy to the words you think we should avoid.

Kind regards,

Kristin

Hi @NikNik

Apparently r00ts is still "bad"?

Cheers, Kristin
