I'm curious as to which words are allowed here on MyLot. Is there a list somewhere? I noticed yesterday that I could not post a word that starts with the letter Q, ends with r, and is what I am. I have no objection to the word (it means gay) but I wasn't allowed to post it. Heck, the picture I was going to post with it wouldn't post either because it had the word in the filename!So, is there a list somewhere?

Yeah. neither have I. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a list posted at any of the discussions sites I've visited. I guess you just have to find them out the hard way. Anyway, I told myLot I was NOT offended by that particular word, but I haven't heard back from them yet. I don't really expect to hear from them on it either. There too busy improving the place! Thanks for posting!

I asked myLot about this, and this is the response I got (mind you I told thm I am gay and am not offended by the word: "Please choose a different form of that word so not to offend others. " offend others? Who are they talking about if not us??? I had to laugh at that one!!!

I can't believe they would make the word Q***R an objectionable word! I love that word and I'm not offended by it either..lol

Maybe you should not say bad words.

well, i could maybe see that... even tho you were talking about a cat. And I guess I could see MyLot's objection of Qu eer if they thought people would use it in a derogatory fashion... i dunno... Thanks for posting!

I haven't seen any list. I checked on the guidelines page also. I have not run into that problem as of yet. You could email customer service. They reply pretty quickly to those asking questions. Wish I could help you more.

Any update? That's interesting because that's not some type of hate speech word or anything, it's a word that is accepted by the LGBT community.
