General Chat

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'.

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

:-D

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

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!

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.

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

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

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?

Roy

no surname in my thread and no location. My thread was called "F*rt Definitions"

Unless someone searched for F*rt or Honkinbottom, I cant see how it would have been accidently come across.

If Honkinbottom was searched for, and seeing this thread was reported I can only guess that the reporting of my thread was malicious.

What make everyone think that the sad individual who RR'd the 2004 thread must have trawled through to find that thread?

on the home page GR added the discussion feature which was talked about at the time because these "discussions" where results based on any thread with a single word such as your surname or location in the thread and it brings up these old threads

Absolutely Stray someone has gone through thread after thread to RR a post form 2004 :-0 some people need to get a life :-D

seriously, some people...................

actually, if anyone had tried to use the url i posted they would have found that it was a spoof address, Ie not a pornsite at all.............

as was said earlier it was to see Who was being got at rather than content!!


hope they dont dig up some of 2006 :-S ;-)

I suppose that even if they are a free member they have the right to report something that upsets them. However, that can be open to abuse. GR has an obligation to take any complaint seriously - even if it from years and years ago. But I agree that if someone has gone trawling through old comments to try and find something to complain about they probably need to get out more!

so they must of trailed through your posts to find one to RR how sad

or like scozz said maybe they just got the joke :-( :-(

Errrr....no :-D

now let's have a bit of sense here and some empathy for the feelings of the poor person who reported that joke from 2004 - post traumatic stress from such a shock can take years to develop and this is obviously what has happened to this poor wretched reporter so purleese - sympathy, empathy :-D :-D :-D :-D

2004..........when there was normal threads, normal people, no stalking, no asking people to go and look at your house, those were the days, eh Mildred

Love Mabel :-)

Re The Botty Burps :-S Ladies dont Burp :-D They Sigh, :-0 still pong a bit :-S but the word is Sigh :-D :-D :-D :-D :-S ;-).PMSL.
