McGriffs

For anyone interested, McGriffs has installed new software which apparently censors posts with specific words or phrases.

Big Daddy Baker has had his last two messages "voided". He must know all the right words!

Am not suprised. As much as he tried to stay on your case.
Did notice that he was never really successful at upsetting
you with his remarks. Never while I was viewing post, did
I see BDB actually reply to a post, just heckle in a
tasteless manner.

You were't using that handle, where you Mike? Naturally I
am just kidding.

I did notice the Big Daddy Baker post on McGriff's also.

Maybe I'm just a skeptic at heart, but is anybody sure that the magic software was installed and/or actually works?

I'm half-tempted to post some crazy message over there under a made up handle and see what happenes!

Did anybody actually see a different message under the Big Daddy Baker post?

No. Nancy McGriff stated that it was the software they installed that zapped the original message.

But that only solves half of the problem.

The personal attacks were what made me finally take a sabatical from McGriffs, and you don't need profanity for that. After all, you can drop the f-bomb without using the f-word (along with many other examples).

That's why I am skeptical that the magic software will work.

You're correct. If you looked now, Big Daddy has already taken advantage of avoiding profanity.

I'll just ignore the ..... well, you get the point

So, they opted to buy the expensive software rather than try a monitor, huh?! I haven't been there since last Thursday or so. Guess I will have to go check it out!
