Forbidden words.
 
I know this forum can censor specific strings. Can whoever is in charge add \<lol\> to the list of forbidden strings?

Automatic ban of users that use this string will also be welcome.

I feel so stupid because something tells me this should be blatantly obvious... but what is wrong with:

<lol> ?

Yeah, let's start a debate on free speech and responsible behavior right now :-P

So why the hell are there banned words in the first place?
Should we try in this thread to reverse engineer the list? :)

Nothing, I think the OP is being an old grouch. and is saying people are overusing the expression.

Re: Forbidden words.
 
Why? Why must someone be banned or have users see censor stars for LOL? What possible reason do you have to even THINK of suggesting users of LOL be banned, let alone censored? Are you REALLY this thin skinned, that you can't even deal with LOL on the internet?

Granted, most people use "lol" too much, but still.

This is not maemo.matan.org. When you start your own maemo related community, you go ahead and censor (even ban) "LOL" users. See how long your forum will be active afterwards.

Wanna really piss the OP off?

Send him a pm with LOL in it.

No, I don't advise this. I'm "speaking" tongue-in-cheek.

OIC... I missed the sarcasm. With the detail it took to write \<lol\> with slashes, and <>'s and everything.. I actually thought I was missing something.

So sorry.... lol! :p
