The "forbidden words" are there mainly to stop spam, but also to stop some of the non-Cisco study messages that occasionally pop up.
references to entertainment sites of various kinds ( you guys especially know what I mean ;-> ) certain types of language, even certain web sites are flagged. no biggie. for example, xxx gets flagged. any message referencing router xxx ends up in the queue. your friendly moderator reads the message and determines it is ok to post, and not a solicitation to participate in certain recreational activities, and all is well. BTW, messages of excessive length get flagged as well. There is one list member who subscribes to the digest, and who every time she goes on vacation, ends up trying to post an "out of office" message with a long digest attached. plonk!!!! another funny forbidden word is "teen" again - put in there to stop spam from a certain entertainment site. Every discussion about token ring speed gets flagged because "sixteen" shows up on the list. ""Steven A Ridder"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED].; > what are the forbidden words?
