My 12 year old sister was banned from the CompuServe forums for using the word ," sucks" back in the day. She said something like, " this new album sucks" and apparently that was too much for the CompuServe moderators back then.

Maybe the mod felt attacked by her criticising their favourite album. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I remember using Compuserve back in the late โ€˜80s. I didnโ€™t have to pay a monthly subscription fee because I was a Ohio resident, but I did have to pay the long distance fee for the connection. Those were the days.
