> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Osiris \* > \*\*_chuckles_ And that, Gyan9, is why it was turned off. \*\* Then, it should be turned off at all vBulletin boards. But I’m a member at a couple of other vB boards In the case of the SDMB, 1. The moderators are listed for each forum. 2. They could filter out strings 3. They could give warnings to users who abuse it that way. After all, they don’t censor posts here **before** posting. An abusive status would be spotted quicker. ---
