Fab has just blocked me from sending messages. Never had that before. Sent a message asking if a guy used “WA” and “TG” and it was blocked. Tried resending and now it tells me I’m blocked from sending messages and it may be ok in a few hours. All seems a bit “thought police”. I get blocking those sites in public forum messages but why in private messages?

External message app names are banned words. The messages are not read, they're just scanned for bad words automatically then blocked

Seems a bit OTT. Maybe we need to use code numbers - 1 for WA, 2 for TGM, 3 for GR, 4 for TGD etc 🤣😂🤣

My thoughts exactly. It’s probably in the Fab terms of use somewhere.

Do they describe it a 'private' messaging though,?

They should at the very least at the point of messaging, have an explanation of how messages are treated. Not buried somewhere else.

I had thought it was allowed in messages but not forums... but there are lots of threads about them and people get banned when it's in a private message????
