Mod.io is too horrible to be the only workshop

Wer weiß, in welcher Sprache, die nur das Programm kennt, "Robbonabbo" ein fürchterliches Schimpfwort ist! Ich werd´s mir merken! Wenn ich mal zukünftig auf jemand richtig sauer sein sollte, dann wird der von mir zu hören kriegen: Du Robbonabbo, Du!  

"Nabbo" is the italian slang for "Noob". That could be the reason.

Wikipedia says for "Abbo":

• An ethnic slur referring to Indigenous Australians (variant of abo, derived from Aborigine)

that could be another reason. Mod.io is not just one country but the whole world, thats why there can be other problematic words than you know.

As a GOG user I'm very happy that mod.io is the only workshop option. Thank you.

Ok, apart from the great stuff for manually download from here and modwerkstatt.

Who knows, even an "obbona" may be an insult somewhere. The statistic probability for such a filter to strike increases with the length of the username...

I have had my potty mouth electronically washed out with soap for using seemingly innocent, but apparently rather nasty four-letter words like "taxi" on Mod.io already. If there was not a sizeable group of people incapable of a civilised discussion, trying to score not by the compelling force of their cold, hard, well-founded arguments but by childish name-calling, such oversensitive filters would not be necessary.

As usual, it is a case of a few ruining it for all. Or, as others have said, that´s why we cannot have nice things.

not as horrible anymore as your patience, i would say. sorry, couldn't resist the joke if thats all, seems like a happy ending to me

Diese Probleme hatte ich auch - gleich nach meinen ersten Upload-Tests auf mod.io, noch für TpF2-Mods. Allerdings nicht beim Usernamen, sondern bei den Beschreibungstexten. Für Konsolen erfolgte mutmaßlich keine Freigabe, weil meine Texte "gauge" (= Spurweite) und "UG" (ganz böses Schimpfwort! ) enthielten. Laut Gemini zu verdanken den völlig überzogenen Jugendschutzfunktionen der Konsolenhersteller.

IHR VERDAMMTEN SPURWEITEN, WAS SOLL DIESER UG!!!??? 

Ha, da bist du ja, WernerK.

Hab dir gerade eben eine PN geschickt.

Ja, ich war für eine Woche abgetaucht, u.a. wegen Compi-Reparatur.
