We all know what command I'm talking about. The one that erases every file on your system, and which certain people in here like to suggest that people run, as a joke.

Make a rule with the swearing filter that blanks out certain words. Make it replace that command with asterisks.

It just makes me when I see that.

Thanks,
Charles

Shoulda just sent a PM to the Forum Mods rather than posting this.

Last time I checked, this forum was the suggested venue to use for feedback. That's why it's called "Feedback." This is also the reason for its old name, "Suggestions and Comments."

Oh you mean,

sudo rm........




But then every time someone posts "sudo" it's going to be a ****?

Edit: Eh, better not push it

Well, I'm not familiar with how the forum software works, but hopefully there would be a way to check for the presence of the entire string and block it if it's all there.
