In attemping to post two repleies today the software told me I could not use two common words in our language.
Dear Firecrown, one of those words is contained in your name.
Can you privide a list of the banned words?
Maybe its me, but this seems ridiculous.
It wouldnāt let me use āa,rā when I tried emailing/pmāing a member. Itās the opposite of professional. Makes no sense.
I would assume thereās an algorithm coded into the forums that looks for any combinations that can appear to be ābannedā words. I have no idea what it could have seen āa,rā as, so it probably needs some adjustment.
I simply tried to type ācombustionā department, how could that be a problem? And I tried to the descriptor for tbe culture of the continent where France is located? Also prohibited.
And I wish I could figure out āa,rāā¦
I tried to post the following two words and was told they were banned.
C-a-n-a-d-i-a-n P-a-c-i-f-i-c
I guess we can only talk about U.S. Railroads. A sign of the times. 
Seems this forum only wants topics about toy trains anymore.
I havenāt been having this problem.
Letās see if it works, Iāll test some of the words/phrases/whatever you brought up.
āC-a-n-a-d-i-a-nā and āF-i-r-eā didnāt work.
I donāt get it. Letās pester Firecrown!
Edit: I created a new topic in the Site Feedback category, here it is: Strangely Chosen Banned Words. Firecrown may be more likely to see it there.
Mind you do not all get banned. 
Since Firecrown uses a commercial forum system, Iāll bet thereās some kind of coding problem that has cropped up in the program.
At this rate? Meh.
I got banned about 15 years ago, didnāt know why. About 8 months after I got banned I got around to emailing MRR and asked, it turned out they banned the wrong person. The violator just kept posting and never knew.
Sheldonāa-m-a-t-e-u-r.
Heck, I couldnāt even say st-pid as an adjective for an object. In a PM.
I couldnāt say the naughty version of heck.
Iām hoping someone just accidentally set this thing to preschool levels.
Thats weird, Iāve used that one before without issue.
It appears to be done this way:
In the āadminā controls, go to admin-customize-watched words and use Block or Censor.
Whoever it is that has gotten in there to tinker ā a grown-up needs to go back in and revert some of the silliness. (I would have said āa-d-u-l-tā but that seems to be a forbidden concept here nowā¦)
That or, as previously mentioned, print a list of āwatched wordsā and post it with the explanation.
Ask me if I careā¦
We all say that and yet here we are still here.
I was gone for a long time. Only decided to try it out again when the new version launched - still in the probationary pā¦, another word you canāt sayā¦
Same here. If itās gonna be this kind of stupidity Iām outty.
So you can say stupidity but if you remove the ity at the end, itās a no-no.
