I've posted a few questions over at the Motion Based forums. (MB is a web-based software platform for GPS devices, primarily Garmin.) The folks over there, admins in particular, are very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. But I was surprised by one thing.

In one of my posts, I said the following:
Well, the reason I want to do this is that the uncorrected elevation data from my Forerunner is craptacular...

Or was it craptastic? Anyway, when I checked back in later, I had several helpful replies, but my original post had been edited to read:
Well, the reason I want to do this is that the uncorrected elevation data from my Forerunner is {not good}


At the bottom of the post, the admin had added, "Edited for language."

I'm glad they want to keep their boards clean, but I thought this was a bit much. A lot too much, frankly. I'm glad that RA users police themselves while not stifling free speech to the point that the board becomes sucktacularly crapulous.

well that sucks. Confused

guess they are sensitive about people describing their product in non-flattering ways.

Sorry, meant to say "craptacular."


Jeff, you're craptacular. Wait, that sounds like a compliment! Anyway, keep up the posting over there and keep enlightening us. Smile
