(BBC)   Ornithological charity locked out of Twitter after repeated woodcock tweets... although to be fair, they also mentioned boobies, tits and shags, along with which local birds they woodcock, given half a chance. Will now move to expurgated Twitter   (bbc.co.uk) divider line

I was on a rescue greyhound site that wouldn't allow the word 'biatch'.

yes, I know how to spell it, but FARK doesn't like the word either.

Or as subby's mom says:

"Any cock'll do!"

So, you can't say "woodcock", but "bring your guns to help us overthrow the government" is still ok. Got it.

How is it "ironic" Elmo?

Jesus farking christ! I swear this is whats going to happen we sacrifice language and other Arts education on the almighty altar of "job/employment ready skills".

Douchebro techlords will just compete to see who has the highest valuation on any given day so that they can change the meaning of words to whatever they want.

Have they tried sprinkling their posts with bigotry?

I know a portrait photographer who lost his twitter account for using the word 'shoot' too many times. As in 'these photos are from a shoot I did with (person's name)'. He was banned for 'threats of violence' and despite a couple of pretty extensive 'please give (photographer's name) his account back, he's just a photographer, you idiots' campaigns he never did get it back.

The various social media companies spiders that go through posts looking for violations. This is very boring work so the spiders periodically do something to tweak humans. Our AI overlords will be more like Loki.

A long time ago they would've accepted it on Foobies.

I was on a baseball discussion forum what banned the term Negro.   After a little back and forth with the admin, the best he could come up with was "NNL" when discussing the Negro National Leagues.   In fairness, it wasn't much his call, but on whoever ran the server, but it was stupid nonetheless.

That's not why their account was locked, Twitter has literally tons of porn with images and videos of actual cocks, they're not going to ban an account for using the word.

Um, that's highly doubtful. There's currently hundreds of thousands of posts using the word/hashtag #shoot, as well as thousands of accounts with shoot in the name.

What on earth makes you think Twitter moderation has to make sense?

It may be completely illogical, but unfortunately that doesn't make it any less true. Although I did just double check and will make a minor correction: technically he wasn't actually banned, he was permanently suspended.
