When did this bull start?

A friend on here and I were joking around about something and this comes up.

It's been happening for several days but as fsr as I know it was only in the political forums and the notice is more lengthy. However they aren't directed at anyone in particular. They just pop up when reply is hit and seem to refer to the entire discussion.

Not for this, yet the reason I suspect it is because they made the acceptable behavior page apart of the TOS.

@CestManan But an algorithm might not be able to distinguish between tongue-in-cheek hostility and the real thing.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@DrWatson Oh no it has no clue about human context.
see this right here is why I only leave up maybe 10 posts at a time

that way if I ever get banned they wont be able to close my account and leave all my content up as they do

@OrionInTheNight yeah, it is a minefield on here so one has to think, "Do I want this to stand long term?"
MellyMel22 · F
iI haven’t seen it till this post.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@MellyMel22 Just the latest wonderful upgrade. You know how SW acts like it is the end of the world if you say so much as "Gosh darn it" or "I disagree".
CestManan · 46-50, F
@SmileOnYourBrother I saw it first time on the day I made this thread.

Always some new BS, man I tell ya.

@jshm2 So I too have been initiated?

I know of only a few people on here who may never see that.

I wonder if someone would get that warning if they threatened to give someone a wedgie?
So many 'improvements' to SW over the years ...

@NudasPriest Makes me miss EP even though I was barely there.
WillaKissing · 56-60, M
Something new I would assume either from a site member getting butt hurt and reporting your conversation, or the site monitors are greatly overstepping their bounds.
@CestManan @WillaKissing Absolutely did not report it.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@MsSwan If anything, you and I would be sitting side by side in the principal's office.

And I already know, in fact EVERYONE knows what you would say if the principal said, "MsSwan, can you tell me what happened? What is the perpetrator look like?" 😁

punish me all you want, if an argument has to be had, I'm having it.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@SarahAndSamantha Heck yeah, that is why we are here. :D

We can't even disguise our profanity now?
CestManan · 46-50, F
@caPnAhab It didn't get flagged. Darn I was hoping it would. 😁
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@CestManan I'm not exactly sure how they mean "potentially" offensive.

I could type in any random gibberish and chance it being a foreign slur I've never heard before..
CestManan · 46-50, F
@caPnAhab I imagine the bot on here is probably just programmed to detect mostly english.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
Wierd things are flagged while stuff that should be flagged are not.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@JimboSaturn Yeah cause I commented on someone's photo, it was a joke about "Back to the future". I said if doc accidentally left the destination date to 12/25/0000, Marty would have been in trouble.

All he said was something about no spare parts or gas stations for 2000 years, and SW brilliantly marked it as fetish.

I think the SW Bot rode the short bus for real.

Anything but touchy-feely huggy kiss-kiss will soon be flagged and censored.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@RoguishEyes Yeah I was reading through that thread. 😄
You know what, I am glad it isn't like that in real life. At my old job, in one of the departments I worked in, SW would have a case of qu33farhea if it heard how my co-workers used to talk to each other. "Get the f*ck out of the way! Move it! What the F are you looking at?" and threats of "physical altercations" BUT it was all in good fun. 🙂

I guess now SW is Mr. Roger's neighborhood then?

@Gibbon I do not know how the warning system works now, I know a couple years ago I was in "SW jail" because I had over 50 reports against me. 😄

Wasn't so bad, the company in there was good.
@CestManan What did you do to get 50 reports?
CestManan · 46-50, F
@MsSwan Basically just running my mouth is all.
It wasn't anything serious, just my normal smart assness.

@beermeplease Did it?

Let me say that the person I was talking with didn't report or flag it.

But yeah SW thinks if people say the wrong thing, the world is going to crack in two.

Like a hollywood movie where people are running and screaming and there is this massive crack forming, swallowing everything in it's path into this volcanic pit.
@CestManan i'll let you know if i get one...yeah why would a friend report you? silly admins 🙄

@KingofBones1 Well h3ll MOST of us are pretty abrasive regardless of our posting style.

I mean you are probably right though
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
@CestManan L o l trust me , i've already been flagged a few times go figure , oh well as I say I will hand Then a nice little sugar coated donut LO.L
CestManan · 46-50, F
@KingofBones1 People are so quick so block, report, make enemies on here but the problems with that -
It makes threads look like a book with pages missing. Plus, what if the person we think we do not like, ends up being a friend eventually?

Some of the people I get along with best on here, we started off on a bad foot.
