    Well... I think the inbox had been disabled for a while due to a bug in the PM thing. Some people were seeing other peoples PMs.

    I was one of them. This forum sucks.

    I think it was because of all the data that's getting dumped into it with the forum migration. *shrug*

    You may disagree with the censored words, however the rules still apply. Do not try and go around it.

    I try to be :smile: except when it comes down to the rules. You're more than welcome to test how funny I can be...

    It's like super cute. I don 't agree or disagree with anything. I'm laughing at it. Cause it's sad. Stop acting like I'm trying to cause trouble when I'm not.

    I was a moderator on an actual important forum with millions of posts for almost a decade. You act like a few of the ones I washed out of training. Then again we thought the spirit of the rules were more important than the letter of them, and that moderators should encourage community growth instead of just telling people what not to do.

    Something to think on. Now ban me if you think it's warranted for giving my opinion, since I can't PM you.

    Uh anyone can pm me. This is the same handle for ARC.

    As for you with a "million of posts" for a decade. That's awesome. You act like a lot of moderators I've seen over the 20 years I've done BBS', forums, newsgroups and what not. Yes, the spirit of the rules is what we go by, but censors exist for a reason. If you'd let those slide just because you disagreed with them then yes, I'd question your ability to moderate.

    There is something to really think on. For now, don't violate the censor kthx.

    The millions of posts refers to the forum itself, not to me.

    Where have I violated a censor? I tried to get around it initially because I thought it was a bug. I thought, such a mild term could not possibly be censored, that would be silly. I realized it wasn't a bug and stopped. I wasn't trying to actually thwart anything.

    I can certainly understand the decision censor it.. to a degree. Seems very minor but then again, this is probably the single most negative and toxic forum community I've ever been on. It's something that has always upset and shocked me. It makes no sense, I thought Trek fans were the nicest people I knew IRL but this forum is so full of negativity I can barely see straight some days. I'm a member of forums for PvP only games that have very competitive environments and they're downright polite compared to here.. it's sad.

    That's why my old sig on the old forums was a doom-o-meter.. it was a joke at how the community was always freaking out over what I considered to be minor things. Very reactionary.

    These fora (apart from Romulan Gameplay, were we were wild and savage) used to be much calmer, more polite, and so on, and then things began to change, maybe a year ago, give or take. (And, strangely enough, the Romulan Gameplay forum has largely become more calm and polite in the past few months.)

    As for the filter, it's obviously overzealous, and the Staff agrees. They intend to look at it, but it's not considered a top priority, regardless of how frustrating it may be to those of us who can see how ridiculous it is in its current state.

    No idea about the invisible message, except that PMs have been disabled, as already stated. That, however, leaves unanswered the question, "How did someone PM you in the first place?"

    The word 'commanderkassy' complained about is not a curse word by it's own (though it might be used in association with other words) , and more importantly it was not censored in the previous forum .

    For now, don't violate the censor kthx.

    I believe that's "don't violate the NEW censor" .
    As a moderator , would you care to introduce the new censored list & regulations perhaps ?
    Maybe another sticky post , with other actually useful info , like how to change text color and a list of emoticons perhaps ?
    I know 'gulberat' had an emoticon list somewhere ... .

    It's hidden.. not there. Nothing is there but I have this red notification at the top of the forums now.

    Vanilla so good!

    And the problem is this message could be anything. A marriage proposal, you winning the jackpot in Papua-New Guinea, your mother-in-law coming for a visit... oh the excitement you must experience! :p
