Who else is the subject of this mod prank of substituting words? I know that you guys are doing this to me, it happened before with some word, and it happened recently by substituting "ponys and rainbows" for "poor". However, it only seems to do this sometime, which is pretty clever - just enough to make me question whether or not I actually wrote that in some sort of dyslexic moment.

Well, I know that I didn't write ponys and rainbows. First of all, it's "ponies", and not "ponys", so the joke is on you there. Also, I know that some forum software provides this feature, so the joke is on you there too!

What I'm curious about is if everybody has random word substitutions happen, or just people that you are punking like good ol' besson3c?

You'll need more than "ponys and rainbows" to pull one over on me, you clowns. Also, just so you guys know, a couple of times I wrote some posts about Sulu. That was actually me that wrote that, the forum didn't substitute Sulu for something else, although that would be a good mod prank to play on somebody else, like maybe turtle.

It's not "poor", it's "poo." Given that, are you really surprised that you're the target?

I'm surprised that people here are evidently racist!

It's poo. Try that, but you have to do it several times, because it only does it randomly. On purpose.

He's not imagining it. We try to be a full-service forum here, so after years of difficulty, we're trying to help besson with his poop fetish.

A few likely words receive interesting replacements under certain circumstances. It can be undone by editing a post after it goes up. It's a harmless and sometimes humorous nudge - especially if he doesn't edit. No one else is affected - the above posters are exercising their hamming skills.

reader: can you create more substitutions for me? For turtle777's username could you replace "the" with "Sulu"?

Thanks...

hehhe... I did not write "porn" in my post at all. It was all variants on money related words.

Edit: it just replaced "p-o-o-p" with "money" this time. Just testing the poop filter, seeing what I have to do to trigger off ponys and rainbows.

We're still arguing whether turtle, toortle or tortoise is the correct spelling.

This will probably just encourage me to try to figure out the filter by inserting porn related words into various places. Maybe I'll go with white porns that nobody can see. Hehhe... I'm off to create some new porn threads! It's Christmas in July!

Also, expect your traffic here in increase with all the hits for "porn" now. Very smart move, guys!

Funny thing, I haven't said the word in a long time now, I only stumbled across this by accident when I said "poor", it's funny how things turn out and we arrive at happy endings, and much quicker than usual.

I also have something unique that nobody else has. I feel special!!
