So here i am typing something about cheating over at FICS and how it might affect the blitz rating. I punched the post button and found it was censored from the forum. I wrote a message to Russ and he replied politely that "Although I can't tell you exactly why your post was auto modded, it is likely
that the discussion of cheating was misinterpreted as cheating accusations." I never even knew there was anything such as "automodded." As part of the software they must have code which bounces out messages containing certain words or combinations thereof. Now i'm not sure when i try to post this message i won't be automodded. let's find out.

before you send a (long) message, select it all (ctrl+a) and copy (ctrl+c), so if the robomod deletes your message, you can paste it back (ctrl+v) and figure out which were the offending words.
works also against your computer or connection losing it.
