OK. That makes sense...

I still think this should be

silver! you just gave me an awesome idea!

I just confirmed that it's possible for mods to add censors such as this:
if they know regular expressions: http://gnosis.cx/publish/programming/regular_expressions.html
The "bad word" word be something like   and the "good word" would be:

forget about that last post. It seems that backslashes always get escaped if you use the censors page. So mods can't do that specific example, but they can still do crazy regular expressions stuff like how quirvy used to kill the site using the . as a wildcard.

New BBcode! the url tag:
  

even more BBcode:
basically to start replacing:   

even more new BBcode: this replaces the dumb [small] and [large] tags, but those tags still work so that old posts can stay updated. Same for the strike-through censors.

You know how you can't use this: because it's used too often as a way to end many censors. Well, you could just use this: but if you have trouble remembering ampersand-pound-125-semicolon, then you could always use this new censor:   

Hey! I demand credit for that!

Although, I only censored . into !, so I didn't really kill the site. But it was cool.

I think I still have a screenshot of something like that somewhere.

Edit: Found it:

It's not like it's very hard to reproduce, anyway.

whoa it's the old layout!

and wasn't it csd who did something like that on the old forums where he turned everything into 69's?

Yeah, that was CSD.

I recall that some time after jell posted that picture, I was inspired by the Palin ad, and did the same thing except "Palin for prez"

And then CSD banned me for like 10 minutes, and I temporarily lost my staff powers.

May I suggest...

Funnily enough so far on the forums I have never needed to use a humourous picture of a bird to express my opinions so why we need three I'm not quite sure.  

Yeah, this is quite a stupid idea.

And a puppy eyes emote!

edit by shos: sorry, I removed this link, cuz livio's bug wasn't fixed yet and so the link was cut in the middle, linking you instead to googling pr0nz.

He's a cat last I checked

I'd hate to go all repititveness-and-it's-been-said-before-ness on you guys, but shouldn't you use these censors in actual posts and stuff to gain their popularity?

Then go find snoopy or someone

69th post!

livio, you seriously have to fix the % bug in links.

give me a link with a % in it and I'll see if I can fix it.

fixed.

cool it works

He's right. Both the and the smilies were used prior to being made smilies. We probably shouldn't make new censors just because we think they're kinda funny. They should at least have a legitimate use.
