Phil Deakins Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I just wrote a post that contained the name Dr. Who, but with the first of those 2 words written in full (Doctor). The system refused to post it, saying that the message contains those words, which are not allowed in this community. Why? ETA (tests):Doctor Who (2 spaces)Doctor White (a different name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiked Anton Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 perhaps it thinks you are naming a doctor, or the words are so heavily copy written that sl just banned it to save themselves court costs and pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well, it's not the first of your two suggestions. I just did a test in the opening post - Doctor White. I can't imagine that it's the second either, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Sorbet Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It is probably a filter left over from when the TV spammer was pummeling this forum hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is pretty much why. Dr Who was one of the spamming titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy McGregor Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I reckon then that "Live Str.e.a.m" <- remove dots was another one? Can't say that either.

Dilbert Dilweg Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes because a big part of the spam was for l;ive streaming tv/movies. odly enough a bunch of them were old movies and shows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 You'd expect such spammers to get around such filters in the same way we did in this thread - Dr. instead of the full word, and/or Doctor Who (with 2 spaces between the words), but this kind of spamming is automated and covers a great many forums, and the spammers won't generally know that some posts are rejected or deleted in individual forums.

Dilbert Dilweg Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I suspect 20/20 vision will be the next filter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porky Gorky Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Have you not been watching Doctor-Who recently Phil? The Doctor has been busy eradicating himself from History, even the Daleks don't know who he is any more and have forgotten their centuries old war against him. This is just another small part of his plan to negate his presence in the universe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I stopped watching when they got the current actor. I watched the first 2 of his episodes but I didn't like him in the role any I haven't seen any since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Gorky Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Aye, Matt Smith is my least favourite Doctor. Hopefully they will kill him soon and get someone new in. I think they should use Johnny Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 LMAO! (if Johnny Vegas is who I think he is - Monkey ads?) He'd make an.... interesting.... Dr. Who lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Just out of interest, the reason I didn't like how he played the role was very specific. His predecessor (I'm not good at remembering names) used to talk quickly at times and it was hard enough to get a grip on understanding and following what he was saying, but I sort of managed. Matt Smith seemed to be copying that but he spoke even faster at times and it was impossible to follow. It seemed that he was emulating David Tenant (I remembered his name while I was writing) but doing it even more so, and it made the whole thing hard to follow - for me, anyway.

Dr. Who lol Well they went with the young option this time. So the next Doctor needs to be either a woman, black or fat. Johnny is in with a chance, although Rusty Lee probably has a better chance of getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
