Improved forum censor — good news!

Until recently, if you composed a post containing some words 7 Cups doesn't approve of, when you tried to submit it to the forum using the website your entire post would be lost. It was very annoying!

But that has been fixed. Now you get an error message. You can continue to edit your post, change some words, and try again.

If you want to see this in action you can try posting something like:

The chapter I'm writing this week started with a big argument and I am going to edn it with a love scene.

But to trigger the censor you have to spell "end" correctly!

There are some bugs! The error message is currently code 403, which geeks will know means "Forbidden". It needs to be a meaningful message in plain language.

This change seems to have broken subscriptions and upvotes. These need to be fixed quickly.

There was no announcement about this change, either before or after, and sadly this is typical. It would be great if the leaders of our community placed a higher value on good communication.

By the way, this change also broke my enhanced editor. I'm working on a fix.

hi charlie! hope you are doing well <3

wooo this is amazing news, i'm sure that this lil warning message (rather than full posts not being sent through at all) will be very helpful in the forums.

this being said, i do hope that any changes this may have caused get fixed soon - i wish you the best of luck! thank you so much for all your hard work and efforts to keep 7cups running as smooth as possible, we all really appreciate it :)

hope everyone is having a wonderful day/night!

This is great because I was replying to a post and it removed an entire paragraph of support lol
