What happened here??

[Bobtheamazinggingerdog]

This happened immediately I posted as if it was automatic. What has happened?

Did you post a link?

Did you say something against the rules?

What did you say?

No, nothing like that. I just checked the thread and my post is now visible so I guess it was just a moment of weirdness!

Hi OP

Thanks for flagging and sorry about that - our spam filter picked it up.

The post has been unhidden now but if you have any other issues, just let us know.

Goats?

What’s the hidden word?! G O A T S?

I'm guessing it was a chewy edible. Something beginning with gum and ending in ies. Automatically gets hidden.

Why can’t you say gummies? 😉

Oh yeah, I said the word and it hid it straight away!

I’m pregnant and craving gummy bears now. Thanks guys.

My post didn’t get hidden though.

You might be talking about drugs 😱

That makes more sense than what was in my head

Really?!
haha
are we not allowed to talk about cannabis on mumsnet? Why would the word g*^%#s be hidden? I was talking about melatonin as it happens but people talk about weed on here all the time!

My guess is that spambots use the term a lot to sell their snake oil crap, so MN have tried to use that as a gotcha phrase to block them.

I thought based on the letters and it being cannabis then it could be grass!

You're allowed to talk about cannabis and weed and all sorts on here. We just don't want the dodgy spammers trying to flog the stuff on our Talkboards

MalcolmTuckersSwearBox was right - we've had a lot of gummies-based spam lately, so our system is currently flagging any such posts. We review and reinstate any genuine posts as soon as we can.

Gotcha, makes sense!
