Default posting tips

hey guys,

I know it has been frustrating recently trying to post up here, but the off topic guys have found a few workarounds that seem to help immensely. Do not U S E these following words:

"h a v i n g"
"u s e"
"l i k e"
"w h e r e"
"w h i l e"
"d e l e t e"
"d a t a b a s e"

apparently these are SQL d a t a b a s e commands. If you mispell them or put space in them, it will work just fine, and you should be able to post a novel. You can also u s e "Ctrl F" to find words in your post that won't work.

Unless you own a Mac, in which case its "Cmd F", also known as the "Apple F".

Thanks squirrels, that explains a lot.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just tried what squirrel suggested on a post that I couldn't post before and it worked.

Thanks again squirrel.

Yeah, it isn't 100% foolproof I'm finding out, but the frequency of my posts getting rejected has gone way down.

so i f it is picking up on sql commands in the post. (then IMHO it is very poorly written software, and probably extermely easy to hack). it may also be picking up on those common cues as well.

apparently i f is giving it a conundrum at the moment
