IIRC In the history of the Castlebar BB There have only ever been two people barred.

What youre seeing is the "bad words"/spam filter mistaking something in your post for spam or obscenity.

This filter was introduced to reduce the workload on moderators. Its about 95% effective but unfortunately does occasionaly frustrate bone-fide posters by mistakingly flagging their posts as objectionable/spam which seems to be the problem in your case. If you cant figure out what might be triggering the filter Email your post to " info (at) castlebar (dot) ie " and Im sure M (our boss) will post it for you.

Incidently the overwhelming majority of posts deleted or blocked these days are spam. Mainly for highly dubious (and often illegal) products, "services" and outright scams. These spammers are becoming increacingly persistand and devious but why they find it worthwhile to spam a pre-moderated BB is a bit of a mystory. Maybe they are targetting the moderators ??? In which case Id like to assure them that all of us at castlebar.ie are perfectly happy with the size shape and functioning of our wobbly bits !
