Description

Hi Boone,

I received the following report from a MALS faculty member using the Commons to teach a class.

""I just posted my reflection and I had an issue with it. I got a message from the site saying that I shouldn't post it because it contained the word "nude" - I must admit myself rather shocked at the prudery of this policy. I'm not sure if it's visible or not, but the version I can see is filled with odd question-mark icons replacing parenthetical punctuation."

The post is here: http://wgf20.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2015/11/12/assignment-9/#comments

I've asked for more details about the student's process of posting, including computer type etc.

Do you think this is possibly Akismet behavior? In my experience, the content would be held in moderation rather than censored, so I suspect something on the user's own computer interfering, but I'd like to know what you think. Thanks.
