Could someone give a list of things that stop a post being posted here?

I am trying to post something, I have tried both here and on the prime topics forum, but I was not allowed to.

There is no foul language, no words in capitals, and all my words are spaced. Is there a length limit? The post is quite long, but not as long as some people's, I wouldn't have thought.

I could do with some help. If anyone would like to see the post, then I can e-mail it.

See Ya

Some HTML commands and stuff like that stops you from posting because the language filter thinks you are messing with ukchatforums' HTML.

If you don't know what I'm on about, don't worry, because I do.

I used to have trouble getting my spelling of 'Nintendo' past the censor, but I got around it eventually by having it as a macro in my character map so that I can now just paste it instead of having to hit four keys.

Some words that we find as everyday are banned because of younger children using the site. Words as simple as gore have been banned I think.

Do you have a numbered list that uses the number and then the ). This stopped me from posting before, if you do have list numbers like 1), 2), then change them to 1., 2. and so on.

Don't worry, I've realised what it is now. After 30 minutes of trying to post it!

I tried to separate sections with lines of dashes, but these count as words longer than 45 letters!

e.g. ----------------------------- --------------------

I solved the problem by putting a space in the middle, as above.

Sorry if I annoyed anyone by posting this.
