"algorithms, go figure. " I don't even mind not being able to send it like to that but being blocked from messaging for multiple hours (as the system says) is extremely annoying to say the least - especially today. | |||

"You probably used a banned word. No, there's not a list. No, I didn't make the rules. You need to wait out the ban." Well, the message was quite long (I try to put some thought into my messages) but nothing stood out as banned word.  | |||

"You probably used a banned word. No, there's not a list. No, I didn't make the rules. You need to wait out the ban." Logic dictates that the OP can't be 'banned' - unless they posted using another account. Rather, the message must have been rejected and that appears to have a simple explanation. Unless, of course, I have got the wrong end of the stick. | |||

In which case that is a new one for me. Never heard of it before. I've lead a sheltered life although I've picked up a few forum bans, including for inadvertently identifying a dogging location! | |||

"You get notified when you try to send so you must've forced to send knowing or not something wasn't right that's the clue " well it said something about "there's a website in your message, remove it and you can send it" so I went back, checked the message and there wasn't anything (well, duh). so I tried to send it anyway. the ban lifted in the meantime and I rephrased some stuff but got another ban so I'm now super unsure why I'm actually getting message banned. it's a mystery | |||

Quite frustrating - maybe the algorithm could be a bit less paranoid for people that have been on the site for a bit, and are both verified and are site supporters? | |||

It could be something that can have a different context or meaning. I have fallen foul of it before now, once I figured out what it was , even though it was innocent coming from me I could understand why. Either way as the pop up says it will lift in a couple of hours. | |||

"No idea. Now it seems I'm just randomly getting message banned
Quite frustrating - maybe the algorithm could be a bit less paranoid for people that have been on the site for a bit, and are both verified and are site supporters?"All of the above doesn't mean people don't break rules or are not into things that are not allowed on the site | |||

Well, the ban was lifted and I sent a message and then was contemplating sending another to someone else but going back and forth between the message page and the profile page and suddenly I was blocked again without a warning. It just doesn't make sense anymore | |||

" and suddenly I was blocked again without a warning. " without a warning and most importantly without ever hitting send message | |||

"You usually just have to wait it out. You soumds like you been blkvked a lot... lol" It's happened to me a handful of times. Innocent mistakes, sort of thing. Just the nature of the system. (I'm not going into details or disputing moderation, just saying "this is how it is") | |||

"It doesn't last long man just wait it outnot if I continue to get message banned "What I suggest you do is think about the words you use, and if any of them could be misused for purposes that would be improper on Fab. Even if you use the word innocently. | |||

What I suggest you do is think about the words you use, and if any of them could be misused for purposes that would be improper on Fab.
Even if you use the word innocently."I went through the message about 10 times now, changed any words that could even remotely be construed as bad and it still gives me the warning and subsequent ban, even after not trying to send the message again. It's beyond frustrating, and I have no clue what it could be. If there would be a list of banned words or topics, I could at least guess. | |||
