I tried to post a couple of events today, and without the following paragraph, it will post. With it, it gives me an "event description" error. Can anyone pinpoint what the offense is?

"We’ve been working hard and have added fishing tournaments, canoeing down the river, bullriding, barrel racing, a beautiful hot tub, romantic spots and lots of wildlife for you to enjoy. Come for the music, stay for the fun!"

I've tried it with and without "bullriding"...no go. The first time it faulted, it didn't contain the word "romantic".

I'm at my wit's end.

I think it is all the commas. Try periods.

maybe they started finding a way to enforce the rules on "event" postings

your place sounds like a lot of fun but its not an event thats just stuff you have that people can go do there all the time

Obviously, that wasn't the ENTIRE post. I took off the event so it didn't look like I was spamming the forum ;)

Maybe its "spots." Pots. Gambling pots.

Oh my god. Does anyone on earth actually call it "lots?" How Biblical.

Next, you'll be accused of placing a porn ad if it has the word "know" in it.

Yup its the word LOTS...

When I was doing my classifieds I had "lots of other goodies" and I got a pop up to say the word "slot" is not allowed!

I was like..EH?!

I thought it was my typos wrecking things..but nope it was the word "Lots"

You'd think there'd at least be the word S in front of it, even if separated with a space.

Disallowing the word "lots" all by itself is . . . STOOOOOOOPID.

Oops, i should have been more specific.

LOTS = SLOT as in slot machine.

More analytical than biblical :)

try substituting "a lot of" I would bet that you will sneak by.

I think that word ban is meant to catch $LOTS and 5LOTS
