Hello Everyone,
Don Knotts here. I received a number of complaints about nonsensical hyperlinked spammer text that was posted to several threads in the "Complaint Department". Those threads of "garbage text" have now been removed and should not be causing any issues.
What were they?
Well, first, they were not a virus. They were just lines of text, most likely in Chinese script, that contained links that were pointing back to another site. It's one of the lesser-known stupid ways to promote a website by linking from one site to another.
In any case, they are gone. Thank you for your patience.
On another note...
A comment was made some time about about censorship on this forum. Yes, certain words in the English language have been censored automatically, such as vulgar body parts, racial slurs, certain types of swear words, etc., in the event that someone who doesn't appreciate such language were to come across this forum.
As we are all adults here, or most of us are, if you wish, I can disable this function. Please reply to this thread and if I get more than ten individual replies, I will gladly disable the language censor.
