I've had this encounter recently where certain words used in either the title or description have prevented launching certain auctions.
the most recent appears to be the word "horny". My description is for a t-shirt that depicts a horny toad.
a few weeks ago the word was "style", which I used in the description of an item. The sentance was, "50's retro style".
now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a bit rediculous?

This sounds like what they used to do (still do?) on half. Any mention of gun in a description and I couldn't list the game.

I agree that this is getting a bit rediculous. I was given warnings for posting a title with the world "hustler" as it was in a record title. And once, a listing was pulled because it had the word "pussy" in it, as in the Pussy Cat Lounge. I was told that this may need to be in the Adult category. So, I had to relist it as P**SY CAT LOUNGE.
Horny Toad is completely ridiculous. They're obviously just running filters that are kicking people off without any analysis.

BUT. . . "horny" toad is not the name. It's "horned toad." Horny toad is just slang for the little ugly thing. Why not list it under its real name?
