b a t m a n

Just wondering why sm.org's censored word list is transforming the characters "a t m a" (remove the spaces) into a capital "I"?

As in "b a t m a n" (remove the spaces)   8)

It does this even within [code] tags

this was changed due to a user that would not stop using that word in reference to themselves.

Ah yes, I remember that member. Kept referring to himself in the 3rd party.

Wow. Who was that?

Spooky that you should post here - I was trying to refer to you in an earlier thread as "b a t m a n" (but changed it to superman).

Arantor

He was an... interesting person.

Also, just assume I read everything ;D

Shambles

On an unrelated matter, these post times are interesting...

SMF doesn't order by time, but by creation. There are circumstances on the cusp of a second where race conditions occur that can cause this. But it's pretty rare.

Since that user hasn't been here in over a year, can this be changed?

Considering he has a habit of dropping back in at random intervals, I think that we're better off leaving things as they are.

Was it really that bad?  Who cares if he refers to  himself as the Caped Crusader?

If the posts are bad, moderate them.  If not, who cares?

In the meanwhile, everyone else is robbed of one descriptive metaphor/refetence/archetype.

I'd get rid of it.   Just my thoughts...

He must *really* have annoyed people with his posting. I've only ever seen this place do that kind of censoring in relation to one other person in the past, and that's ancient history.

Shambles

I've had a word with Shambles and Shambles agreed.

Now, if Shambles weren't to agree then Shambles and I would have to agree to disagree.

Shambles might disagree with that agreement though.

Not even close to what Shambles posted. It was a challenge to try to understand what they wrote, I just lurk in those threads, but I remember that.

Just curious, but if his writing was already so bad, what would censoring one word out of it help with? (And not sure I follow where it would even make sense to use the said censored word to refer to himself...)

Shambles understands your question.

The old posts are hilarious.  From a distance.

But judging from the language, I think it was actually Alfred posing as the Dark Knight, not the Caped Crusader himself.

I think it's silly to censor it. As shawn says, who cares? jmo
