blue you

Post by magicrobotmonkey »

Am I the only one seeing the words "you" and "yours" blue? They are surrounded by the following:

Code: Select all

<span style='color:blue' title='ignorance is bliss'>
What is going on with this?

edit:
ok, so it didn't show up on this page, but look here: viewtopic.php?t=29995

it's called Smurfing or a Smurf filter. I added word censors because the mods and I are tired of translating aolbonics to english.

For anyone that doesn't understand "aolbonics", a definition taken from #php ::
AOLBonics is talking using numbers, or using single letters for you, are, you are, you're, etc. Examples are: Hey
evry1; howz it goin?; how r u; oic; ur teh suckz. Talking like this is frowned upon in #PHP, and will result in you
being silenced.

oic!

So I take it it just takes any of these wierd little words and throws that and the proper word in its place.

Does it also keep track of how many must be translated for each user?

It appears as if it's also changing anything in the code tags...which could be a problem, considering $u is not $you.

considering it's blue, I don't see much problem in it. If it were default black, then yes, it could be a problem, however not so devastating.

Actually testing it in quotes, and that doesn't work to well either...
