Board Game Arena

I tried to message a player the following and it got flagged as being "provocative or an insult":

"I think I goofed back when I claimed that strawberry. gonna be hard to worm my way out of this. Well played by you either way."

I mean, I supposed technically "worm" is a dirty word given where they live, but seriously??

I think it's "goofed": https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=143307

I find strawberries unacceptably provocative

Please be more thoughtful in ypur choice of language next time.

What? They were being self-effacing, there’s nothing insulting here at all even if the terminology technically falls afoul of the rule (which remains Byzantine and inscrutable, please make these rules clearly accessible to every user up front BGA!)

I think your sarcasmeter needs a tune-up. Maybe take it into the shop after the weekend?





As stated the “goofed” part of the original message was probably the triggerword for BGA.

ahh.. yes. I see it now. Next time I'll go with "Your father smelt of elderberries."

That's absolutely goofing ridiculous that it considered that inappropriate. What the worm are you playing at BGA?
