Test. Feel free to pile on. . .

Just a test.

Being it's just a test, this pre-sigline is open and available for rent.

Just another test

SPOILER:


I was curious to see if you post a link in a spoiler, kind of like a check against opening up anything that isn't "work safe".

Saw it on another board. Thought it might work here. . .

Tripler
Aaaah, and I see the text is even "highlighted" a little bit. Interesting.

Not sure if blah blah blah

blah




(that thar face is a link.

P.S. the whole point of a spoiler is to give people the choice to see it. Surely a link does the same thing?

Please explain what the hell is going on before I lose my mind. Is the word 'mom' being censored?

It shows up for me.

Is your anti-mom filter onnnnnnn . . .

Another test of mine:
Indented text.
So what gives with the "mom" censorship? I see it in some posts in this thread, and not in others. . .

Hold on, here... Was xash's censored word "mom" (female counterpart to "dad"), or was it "ass" (a donkey)?

And will this go through? In all honesty, I typed out both defined words.

OK, both of those went through just fine. Perhaps the hampster has decided to passive-aggressively censor out randomly selected words? Funny, I don't recall seeing a ****er thread in the past few days...

:: salutes ::

I formally request permission to post George Carlin's '7 Dirty Words you can't say on T.V.' to see what the hell happens.

Alternatively, if this isn't the proper forum, I'll do it in the Pit tonight--solely as a test.

Is "mom" different to mom - i.e. do the quotes fool the censor into letting the naughty words past??

"ass"
ass

Ahh this board is a wonderful place!

Where else can member get away with creating threads of complete nonsense in the name of a test, and at the same time ask serious questions, and reveal personal details in the knowledge that the majority of replies will be supportive.



bucket.
