plea for filtering bad words in message as well as in user id

[Laura F.]

I am also glad that I was able to delete the message quickly - thanks to everyone that took time to report the message to me. 

I can only imagine what my inbox would have looked like if that message had been posted at 2 am Central instead of 8 am!!

It does appear the message was deleted before being mirrored to the newsgroups.

Thanks,

Laura

I guess you have to depend on people on the east coast. Us in the west get up way too late 😄

So....  Ben has a Bat-Phone for you, Laura?

Ravens, sorry for the confusion. See the time at which the second post was entered. Its 8:06 am and at 8:10 am the fellow (Ben pointed out) posted a very rude post having too many harsh words. I reported in the breakpoint (which i thought i was posting in feedback forum but i don know how i made wrong) at 8:16 am. BTW after posting in the breakpoint forum i catched up the link and gave a notification to the moderator to delete the message. After 2 minutes itself when i came back to that thread, i saw that the particular post was deleted. Only 2 posts were there. Thanks to Laura.

I guess since people are unaware of words unacceptable for the forums, we should explicitly state a list of vulgar words on the forums:
Here is a quick (non-exhaustive) list:
- local variable

- sequence structure (or worse, stacked)

- express VI's

- anything regarding text languages

... there are more, but I'm running out of things off the top of my head.

Just remember everyone, mind your P's and Q's

I am sorry I have to differ with you but if you search the forums you will find those terms very often in the form;

Xs are bad.

Where "X" represents most of the phrases you listed.

Thanks for the kind words, Mathan..  🙂

I will visit more often.  It's been a crazy year... Then again, what else is new?

Maybe programming in C++ has had an effect on my participation.  I'm getting rusty (with LV)..  LOL! 😄
