lol .. I was talking to Fuze about someone else and we were both trying to come up with an anti salute if you know what I mean ..

My exact words were "<F> is for fail" like salute ya know.

I then got a warning and thought .. what the heck !!!

So I typed just FAIL into country channel to see if that was the bad word ..

then I got banned for typing it again I guess .. lol.

There are some seriously weird rules around  :rolleyes:

Contact HTC and discuss it. If what you say is true they will clear it up. The boards are not the place for this.

Seriously if a mod is gonna use his powers to mute people for ridiculous things like this then they do not deserve to be a mod at all ... thats just blatant miss use of the role as a moderator.

Shuffler the reason I posted it here is in the hope HTC will explain t to me ..

If I have done something wrong I will gladly wear it but I just don't get it .. not for a non vulgar word such as this .. :P

I reckon you might be right Tracers .. the auto censor has most likely been programmed for any word starting with F that has 4 letters to try to capture all the creative ways of typing the F word ..
