#MondayMakjang
I’m fascinated by family secrets, by what people choose to tell to others and what they choose to keep silent. But what if it’s not a secret but purely knowledge that hasn’t been shared?
Even though I took out all the words that I thought were problematic, it still won’t let me post my story. At this rate I’m getting so many -1 points that I’ll end up being an Errand Boy again if I’m not careful.
It’s probably not a word you think it is.
The inappropriate word filter is to reduce spam.
So things like first, special-ist, and even things like hip hop rap but formatted wrong, with a dash or a slash, it can think is a spammy comment. So look for formatting, or break it down by paragraph, and then by sentence on a test post somewhere is my professional advice lol
Haha – are you trying to drive me crazy by trying to say that word?
There were a number of words – many to do with the second world war and where my grandfather was taken to during his year. All words that were appropriate in the context of what I was writing, but not in the context of many other discussions.
Then I’d made a joke between double asterisks that it didn’t like either.
Hahahaha well usually if you over hiphenate a word it lets you hehe
e.g. special-ist is an I/W for me so I have to write it like that lmao.
But nah that makes sense.
Also I’ve never really though about that… does the little -1 on inappropriate word comments mean it takes off an upvote? Fascinating. How many upvotes have I sacrificed for science by now lol… I need to test this!!!!
So it doesn’t take off upvotes. But it may take off magic invisible beanie points that help you level up. But I can’t confirm that @mary? Is there an invisible points system? Is that how this works?! Does good conduct also contribute along with activity?!
1. I am really happy you were finally able to post this. Following your posting-fail saga has been fun. 😀
2. Whoa whoa whoa, that’s quite makjang. Right there.
Whoa, your Grandfather was amazing, @cloggie! In war, people tend to shut themselves up for their own survival, or put their all into a patriotic effort – to have distributed uncensored newspapers is seriously cool!

That’s what happened in my family.

Blast, my long story has an inappropriate word.
You’re going to have to wait until I figure out which one it is
Cloggie

Oh God, I bet I know which one it is. This is a problem.

Nope – I’ve taken out that word and it’s still has an inappropriate word.
Maybe this is the fan wall’s way of telling me that I shouldn’t share this story.
Sorry guys, Story Time with Cloggie has been…. postponed until I figure out which word I can’t use

Admit it – this is just performance art about secrets that aren’t shared…

It’s because it’s hard to write a story about the second world war that’s not full of words that you shouldn’t use on internet forums
But I like your interpretation a lot more.

On the plus side, you did remind me that my family has some very juicy makjang of the historical kind.
Juicy might not have been the best word choice. Oh well.

You would have liked the story @egads. It was about what happened after my second book got published.

Sorry guys – my story was clearly too Makjang.

Found all the words I couldn’t use by breaking it down into paragraphs.

Splendid! It is time consuming but it does work!
What was the word/s eventually?

Different issues in different paragraphs

Sicarius, are you telling me that you’ve been posting things with appropriate words – all in the name of science?
Sure, I totally believe that this was the reason.

What other reason would I have… 😛
