So, I'm trying to post to another thread and got a note saying I've used "trigger words" and my post will need to be reviewed. I'm guessing it was a retailer's name as it was only 2 suggested sites and a price in the post. I have used one and was satisfied. The other I posted with the caveat I had not done business with them.
I apparently missed when this became a thing, so is there a list or something somewhere that I should review?

ETA: this sounds more smartass than I intended. I am actually just curious when this started and if there is some list of verboten retailers I've missed. Like is this why everybody calls the one in texas that sounds like the news channel by some goofy names (as I've just done since it was also mentioned in the thread).

You've been here almost 14 years, with nearly 3000 posts, and don't know this little factoid?
> THIS < is just one example, and it's been around years before that thread.

Honestly, no. I've probably seen it mentioned and just never retained it. I've never actually ran into this warning before. Seeing the thread you linked, I do feel like I remember having read it before, but can't swear to it.
I've had several orders with the offending party and have always been satisfied. Usually for small items like magazines and a couple of Kershaw knives at good prices, but I've also bought clothes and shoes from them in the past. At one time they also had very good pricing on Lancer mags. I'm legitimately surprised by the reputation of the above mentioned retailer on the forum based on my, limited dealings with them.

Honestly, I was expecting it to be Natchez that was the culprit.

My fault and apparently I need to pay closer attention to the goings on.

I've ammended my post in the other thread as well.

Q, no need to chide the man. It was an honest question.

No, he's within his rights. I've been here long enough to know there are house rules. I'd just never run into this one before. I messed up. I'll own that.

It's somewhat hard to convey light hearted ribbing on the internet.

I've had maybe at least two posts blocked for review in the past. I get the message but by the time I read the message I forgot the specifics of my post. I just move on. I figure if it was egregious enough, I'd hear from the man.

It is important to remember that management understands that sometimes shit happens.

If you are screwing up you will know about it. No news is good news.
