Meg -- I have been blocked a number of times and lost some lengthy comments in the process. The weird part is I reviewed what I thought I wrote and for the life of me I could not figure out the "problem" words. It would be nice if the automatic system gave a list of the words back that caused the event so we could avoid using them.
--Best to you, Jan

What in the world was that??????
I don't blame You a bit I should participate more , Ok I should participate
in the forum and I agree with YOU 100%%%% that was percent !!!!
To use a flag of wherever you are seems normal to me---I do hope your image is posted and You don't leave Meg, but if you do I will understand - but I will miss your work and your comments very much ....
Good Luck ,
Michele~
Wooooooops on my part I love Your image of the flags ...& am sooo glad I looked and read your 'about' ...Excellent work !!! 7/7
Ok I read the others comments so now I understand how this place seems to work as I too have had abuse thrown my way too ...in fact Liz & I both by the same person & none of that should ever have been posted..You did no wrong , I was upset- but tried to ignore it---but I am glad you are taking a stand...maybe we all should.
Let me know if you come up with something to put a halt to this loss of freedom while abusive messages get passed along all day long some days !

You are absolutely right, Meg. I've had comments blocked in the past because the site misinterpreted a perfectly innocent word.
Nice image of the flags.:)

Hey Meg, I get blocked sometimes too, but not because of anything bad, it just seems that some words trigger the system......trust me, there are comments that get through that shouldn't..

You are quite right Khaled.
It appears that if you are a member of one of the cliques on this site you can say what you want, even if it is very political…as some of the comments before mine were!
Mortals like me on the other hand get blocked for no good reason.
All I said was I would use the flag of any country I was in, and that I should be free to use the flag of any country I choose as I consider myself a citizen of the world, a child of the universe!
Is that so very wrong?

"Freeeeedom"... Sir William Wallace :0)
You're totally right.
We don't have freedom on this site, they usually block anything they don't approve "from their point of view"... Myself (as as you said, am not a political person) had an image titled "Not Freedom of Speech" that talked about the Denmark cartoons and the Muslim world. This image was blocked and removed without taking my permission and that was a year ago (the image was talking about freedom of speech and that ), the next day I posted an image that I titled "Why?" asking about the coz of barring any of our images or critiques (http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1050269)!!!!
Love this image a lot Meg... well done,
Khaled.
