Anandtech forum issue today November 13th

[pm]

I don't know what's going on
Apparently some change came through which turns all periods into two asterisks and all emoticons are replaced with some funky broken picture link

We are aware of the issue
I'll update when I learn more
Thank you for your patience



And, yes, I'm purposefully not using periods in my sentences

 

[OBLAMA2009]

its blocking "c-u-m" and "c-o-m"

Fixed.

The issue is that someone tried to censor <a censored website> . com (with spaces) and that censored periods, "com" and of course the intended website.

All fixed. Sorry for the problem.

I still don't understand why other websites would even be censored.

It's all above my pay grade, but it has to do with avoiding spam.

 

[ilkhan]

because it censors each word instead of the whole string.
