You've got to be joking. 

Nope.  I only added the “F” word to the filter so you can’t drop F bombs but I was referred to this section of their policy.  Not much I can do about it.

They work for you. Find another one. There are millions that don't have this bullshit. This is so backwards.

That’s actually pretty standard and are policies implemented by google.  And since google dominates the ad market everybody has to bow down to them.  If not being able to drop F bombs all the time ruins your Pac12board experience then I apologize but it’s beyond my control.

lol, you're seriously suggesting that google restricts its ad space suppliers from allowing swearing? I work with our SSP and DSP on a weekly basis and this is unheard of. Policies are set by the supplier so they don't get ads they deem inappropriate.

Policies are also set by the ad supplier. If somebody was posting porn here that would be a violation of their policy as well. Obviously porn and swearing aren’t the same thing but yes they do have content restrictions.   But, this site doesn’t really make anything anyway so whatever I’ll take down the filter.  I didn’t realize not being able to say one word would cause such an outrage.

Cool. And to be clear, if you want a filter, put it in. It's your jam. I've just never heard of a policy being enforced from the other direction.

Oh man you edited this from your original post where you mentioned what I let slide.  Which you’re 100% right about.  I admit I haven’t been fully engaged here and have let shit get out of hand.  Perhaps we should have a purge of the bad actors.  I already axed one in Bruin70.  
 

And as for enforcement, I’ve gotten so many notifications from google about my other site.  They’ve crawled posts back to 2010 saying it violates their rules....it’s normally an issue with a picture or something though.  I personally don’t care about swearing.  I swear like a sailor, just not often on my boards.  Anyway carry on.

Whiners that get their worldview challenged tattle on others.  There are a few on this board trying to ban me and anyone else not in their groupthink.

Ditto.  Since day one, I've been attacked with hate for simply having a different opinion and not being a part of "the group".  The devoted a whole thread to hating me and trying to get me banned.
