FabSwingers.com forum: Blocked from sending messages

By (user no longer on site) OP

I tried to respond to a message I received but when I tried sending it I got a message stating that the message contained a URL or some other content that was prohibited. It didn't contain a URL and I couldn't work out what part of the content might have been prohibited - there was nothing that might coyly be considered as 'taboo'.

Anyway, I scrapped the message but have still been blocked from sending further messages and I don't understand why.

This isn't the first time this has happened either. Could the site moderators please clarify?

Sounds like you received an 2 hour message block. The message contained either a banned word/phrase or web address.

It will automatically lift after 2 hrs.

Yes, it was a 2 hour block, but there was no web address and I can't think of a word or phrase in the message that could be considered prohibited.

I still don't understand why I was blocked when I couldn't work out what the offending word/phrase was but decided not to send the message anyway.

Did you message contain some variant of the word fetish?

Fab is VERY unhappy about mentions to a site that uses the first part of that word.

No, I didn’t mention any other website, let alone one whose name included any variation of that word.

I understand the need for policing message content but I think in this case FAB’s logic needs refining.

I've had it during a normal chat

I know the site doesn't like you even talking about any competition sites and use the excuse of spam.

If there is a list of banned words it should be published but they won't do that
