Hi tomk62: the poster in question this morning had a row of "naughty" words in his username and thread titles. The filter got most of them, but conspicuously missed one. In fact, the same four letter word it let through a week or two back. Perhaps an update of that list is required.

In the posts themselves it was not only the words that were at issue - most of them were scrambled. It was also the concepts that were objectionable on a number of levels. Which is why, unusually, Brad appears to have simply deleted both those threads.

For the first time I was amongst those who pressed the "report" button. I thought sardonically, "this'll be nice for Brad to wake up to..."

I am actually surprised that something like this did not happen right after the Fender Forum opened. I have been involved as a Moderator on many forums and this happens on all of them.
It's sad that some people have to act this way. The offending posts have been removed and it's time to move on.

Let's get back to the reason that we are here, to talk about Fender Musical Instruments!!!!

What is so stinking tough about being reasonably mature? Does it make some mopes feel tough or tres' hip to have whizzo or foul user IDs?

the Jerm, I know you are right but you don't ignore it by posting a reply on that thread. You only bring it up again. :roll:


I know you're right too, but I just thought that maybe other forum members could feel like they should post their opinion about the topic, to show people how righteous they are. I just posted my post to make sure no other posts were posted. :lol:
