PCG Article Do we need an update to Forum Rules? ;)

I mean, I could just post Russian troop movements all I want, as long as I didn't do it in Russian. 😉

Rules, there are rules?

The mods just make it up as we go along, but hey, if someone went to the trouble of making up rules, some of us will take a look.

Note: Brian is speaking for himself. Some of us mods do know there are rules 🙂

Some people posting Secrets on War Thunder forums seems a habit we are lucky not to share. Any secrets shared here can probably be found all over the internet as well.

That's even worse! At least I have a reason, if not an excuse, for not following them—you lot are busted 😀

I would post more if my content wasn't constantly rejected for spam. Yes I read the rules, no I don't post links.

If there was at least a way to know what words triggered the filters I could correct my posts instead of sitting there writing a thoughtful thing about Ubisoft pulling the plug on games I still play for 20 minutes only to be rejected for spam and having no idea why. I tried to change a few things and removing sections to see which one tripped it but I gave up.

I have no beef with mods specifically on here, but you should be aware that it is remarkably difficult to engage with the community. Pretty sure I'm also shadowbanned from the disqus comments even though I make a point of being a pleasant person online. It can be pretty aggravating to be in the dungeon over there but seeing despicable posts aimed at your editors on a weekly basis or the timeless classic "ThIs HaS noThInG tO do With g@mezzz"....while at the same time trying to dodge spam filters like Neo in the Matrix on here for no other sin than wishing to explain why I still play Silent Hunter 5 when I'm extremely drunk.

Thanks for the heads up, we'll see what we can figure out.

Thanks. I totally understand the need for it but it is brutal sometimes lol.

If you want I could PM you my post and you can bounce it against your filters and see what's going on I'm pretty sure I saved it somewhere.

 

[Brian Boru]

I could PM you my post

That would be great!

Hi @Shodan_ , I had a look to see what portion you were triggering and have removed it from the spam filters. It was a tad on the aggressive side. Let me know if you have any further issues with it.
