General Chat

the discussion feature works by takes a single word from any part of the community board including thread author and thread title/subjest,

can you put your hand on heart and say no word posted on your thread had no surname/location word in it and that includings board names

your board name at the moment has a surname in it, as would any other members who participated

unless you can remember every word in the entire thread then how can you be sure a surname name or place name was not used, some surnames are actually every day words, such as i have just demonstrated

"actually every (day) words", is Day not a surname?

Ye Gods & little fishes Roy!!! :-0
If that's the case- and Winchester is where I live, not my surname, god help you if you live in, say Scunthorpe, or Cocks (Cornwall) or Twatt (Shetland) - the latter two, both places I have lived near in the past :-D

um, why Scunthorpe? What is the connection with Cocks and Twats?

the decisions as feature is just a red herring because the results are just taken from the word facility

if you go to your home page and click on the discussion then look through these threads for the subject base on your name or if you use the one for your location,

then check these threads you will find nearly all will not be discussion on that name or location

in fact it can be very hard to find the actual name/location,

i found that the only way to find such words on most of these threads was to use the "find on this page facility on my browser" to find the word.

Twatt Errol - two 'T's. No bad language here ;-) ;-)

Break Scunthorpe down - time was you couldn't post the town's name on here, or many other sites :-D

I also remember having trouble, during a discussion on decorating, using the word 'scraper'. Thinking about it, it beggars belief!

oops just realised what I posted - got carried away!
But still puzzled

:-D

The discussions results for my name give 673 matches

If i go to the quick search under tools on the left of this page and enter the single word "my surname" i get 673 matches

If i look at the matches from both features they are exactly the same threads

same for location

There was a case last year when Facebook wouldn't allow the placename of 'Effin' (in County Limerick) to be used on the site, as it was considered 'too offensive'.

ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see now! oops Is that why I got banned from a site for saying my great great grandfather (Ivor B'Iggan) came from LLantrioohmissusgetitheregogogoch?

Probably :-D

laffin my head off here.

There's a worse place name than Effin..........

in Austria I think.....starts with F - I won't type it cos I'll get my fingers smacked.

i went on a site where every time somebody said they come from

Scunthorpe it filtered it out ;-) ;-)

I obiously need educating. Racking my brain on Scunthorpe. I have never heard of a place called Effin in Co Limerick. Will Google it.

I'm with you Vera. I cannot fathom the relevence with Scunthorpe.
Maybe someone will be kind enough to explain, to this dumb chick.

Many Thanks

Vera
