I just tried to post something in the sports forum, and as soon as I hit submit, I got a message telling me that my post had been deemed inappropriate and had been banned.
How are these things decided? I never swore, I didn't insult anybody, I was a bit sarcastic (but since when is that a crime) and I wasn't racist (although I did use the word).
Is there any way I can look at my post again and see what the problem was so I don't do it again? Or change what needs changing?
I'm not that worried if it doesn't go up, it's just the first time that's happened.
Any help?

I said something like 'the pakis are cheats. But don't think I'm racist coz I think the South Africans and the Aussies are too'.
I'd just be interested to see why it got banned. can I appeal it anywhere? Like send feedback?

Originally posted by CritaAh, if you were talking about che@ing, that's likely to be the reason. Robomod (the program removing posts containing certain words) doesn't understand the context, and RHP-related che@ing accusations are not welcome in the forums, so it was programmed to remove posts containing the word "che@ing" or "che@er" (I think using it once is okay).

I don't think you can appeal, but you can write the post again, trying to avoid words which you think might be a problem.
