    I couldn't work that out the other day. :confused:

    The only thing I could think of was perhaps it was a common element in a spam/referer link that the abuse team were trying to block?

    Well that's all I can think of it being... but the exact filter entry has to be og-2 (without the -) which is puzzling...
    It should be easy to alter by adding a few more characters to the profanity entry so og-2 would work but og-234 wouldn't if ya see my meaning... :)

    Yep. I can only think that they have been a bit too "general" in defining the filter.

    It is very odd.

    Have not been on-line much myself and was wondering where you were rog. Hiding behind exclamation marks.

    I typed a mild swear word, amended with astericks and ampersands, the other week and it was turned into s!!!.

    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
