cleverpun Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Users recently discovered that posting certain characters would make the forum software break the "show all comments" part of status updates, and also possibly some functions of posts/topics. This is your only warning; anyone breaking status updates or threads by posting weird characters in them is going to get banned. It's one thing to mess up your own status updates, but damaging the usability/readability of other people's content is abusive spam.

Gent♥ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't even know why 'don't break our software' NEEDS a warning. Is that not blindingly obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakgrund Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This is also a problem with usernames, if you got a weird character in your username, you won't be able to open up the notifications thingy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☾Link✞Skorpion☽ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Characters such as this, I'm assuming, are not allowed as they cover up certain parts of the screen. I'm also assuming any variants are banned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Is my name breaking anything? I would assume not, as it's never been a problem before. I don't want to find myself banned for having not realized the problem I was causing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomp Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I feel like I'm a snippet late, anyone care to explain this in more detail? I was playing around until I found a glitch which I abused it happens to break status updates, break topic titles, make empty posts, break user names and probably much more. won't happen again :^( due to those reasons, I'm not sharing the glitch.

MC22 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The percent [some character] that blocked status updates was as fun as selling unusual ref. Bugs are fun, but hey I guess people are much more angry now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
