How Intuitive is the board software?

Curious--I debated posting a question for discussion and I admit it was rather close to home...... and the board came back with a question asking if I really wanted to post. So obviously it has the ability to scan words, phrases and or content?

No it always asks that.

Interesting. I've never encountered this. Then again, I'm careful to file the serial numbers off of anything I post. Or, simply not post it.

It would not surprise me if, over the years, Founder has put together a list of keywords that associate closely with posts / topics that the user will will eventually regret putting out there for planet-wide consumption. And, any post using those keywords generates an "Are you sure about this, sparky?" warning.

It's likely in place both to save us from ourselves, but also to cut down on the number of messages sent to Founder reading: "OMG! OMG! OMG! Please delete my last post! OMG! OMG! OMG! Why isn't it deleted yet? OMG! OMG! OMG!"

Side note... if a basic bit of code is warning you about bad decision making, then perhaps you should take heed.

@Dougster... Really? It's been a while since I started a discussion, but I don't remember that.

Okay. Well, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I obviously need more coffee.

The software asks if you're sure you want to post. It doesn't scan the content. It is simply a reminder that there is no edit or delete feature.

Thank-you for the clarification.

In hindsight I went out of my way to try and keep any means of identification a possibility but because the subject is a bit sensitive to me I decided not to start a discussion.

I'll rephrase what I was going to ask and try a different route--if anyone has good recent knowledge about Legends in Detroit if you can direct message me I would appreciate it very much. Thank-you

That should read an impossibility.

Rumor has it, the site has the ability to watch you when you masturbate to porn on your computer.

But seriously, there's a lot of Detroit area folk on this board, but not a lot of them are gonna come to this thread to see your request as is. Post your original thread like you wanted to, just don't go overboard with self-identifying info. Believe me, in this day and age, if someone wanted to dox you, they would have done it already with info that's already available.

Did the link disappear?

Yeah it did. I guess the original question was answered - the software does scan words and delete a post if does not contains the phrase “stripper hoes”

Yep. I f you send founder the link to a spam or malware profile, he deletes them.
