Banned words

[DEViANT]

Can I just ask why I can't use the word 'mat rix' in these forums even as part of a proper non-copyrighted discussion, like, 'Nokia's latest phones use active-mat rix displays'? I was more curious than anything. Is it some preventative copyright protection thing you've laid down or has someone forced you to? I know there is a certain company who is extremely anal about this, even to the extent they'll take over things which aren't their concern.

Ah ok, that would make a lot more sense I suppose, and I suppose you can describe active mat rix displays as TFTs, I just thought it was a bit weird.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was planning on making a post about it but my net connection got capped.

Frankly, I'm sick of having these mobile mat rix sites advertising on our forums. We get at least a few every week and they open 5-10 threads, wasting a lot of my time to delete them. Consider this a trial for now. If we seem to be doing ok, I'll allow the word mat rix back again.
