    When trying to reply to a thread in 'Credit cards' tonight - I kept getting a message flash up reference a keyword blocker. When I posted a message of 'test test.' it went through ok. I can't see any naughty words there in my reply? What was I doing wrong?
    The bad word in your attempted post was P H O N E, but you are allowed the word telephone.
    So do we know which words are causing the problems? Or is it trial and error? Any feedback from mse?

    I thought I got blocked from posting the word crack but obviously not.

    I wonder if it is a clumsy attempt to stop spam.

    If some idiot was posting a lot of "buy inexpensive telephone" then putting c.h.e.a.p and p.h.o.n.e on the banned list would stop them.
  • It's happening to me. I'm struggling replying to posts.
    If that continues you’ll have to rename yourself MovingBackwards. 

    Are you using the word c h e a p? 

    No, c is not a word I tend to use; budget, good price and bargain are my go to words. It was on the house buying section, suggesting someone read all their other posts about the same problem.
