I don't mean to gripe about something so stupid and insignificant...
But someone's been messing with my posts and profile.
Yes, it's stupid to even care... but someone's been going through my stuff and making minute changes. Little things that you wouldn't notice unless you look really close.
With acronyms they change things... like "I" becomes "eye", "T" becomes "tee"...
Take this for example, I was looking through my old threads, and I spotted this...
"On another note: I don't understand why the you.S. is the last country on the planet to use FPS... "
The you.S.? Look at my sig, too... I didn't write "south of heaven... are.I.P."
Look, who ever you are... you think you're being cute? Fuckin knock it off... I don't like people messing with my shit.
I don't know who would do something like this... (obviously they know it's going to irritate me). I know I've been acting like a jerk lately, but that doesn't warrant someone messing with me.
I've narrowed it down to three possibilities....
1. a hacker, a pimply-faced nerd with Buddy Holly glasses and no girlfriend who sits in his basement pissing off people on the internet to make himself feel better.
2. a moderator, I don't know why any moderator on here would feel the need to try and make me look stupid... that and the only person I've pissed off around here lately is Mr. Colossal... I really don't think Eric would waste his time doing something so pointless.
3. My ex-girlfriend... she knows I hate her... and she knows all of my passwords... she could easily go in and alter things as she pleases... but why would she? She's probably too busy screwing her other ex-boyfriend...
Any thoughts?
Change your password...
I'm one step ahead of you, dude.
Wasn't Demorgon griping about something similar a little while back?
yesh. If it STILL continues, then It's GOT to be 1 or 2
Hmmm if it's been done by a seen moderator, or someone hacking in your account, you'll normally see the line "last edited by blah bla bla" so it's quite strange.
Or maybe it's just the forum changing those TXT-style spelling (don't know if the line "This posted is corrected..." is added to the new forum yet, though).
But probably it's just posted by a sleepy/drunk/joking poster I think!
I remember seeing what Hyde is talking about. I read his u.s.a thread and it was most definitely u.s.a, not you.s.a.
I doubt it's your ex, because if she hated you so much, she'd do something REALLY mean, like post your naked baby photos or something, not just change the spelling of r.i.p
THAT'S IT!! NO ONE'S HACKING!! IT'S THE SILLY BOARD!
try posting the word (letter after 't').s.a, or (letter after 'q').i.p
relax, hyde. You are safe.... it's this dumb txt-style garbage...
oops. double post. oh well - at least it gives you a chance to see what I mean...
No, peter, look at Sully post, the forum didn't say it's editted, so it can best explained with the work of a spirit!
u.s.a.
No, he's right - I tried (letter after 't').s.a. here & it doesn't say "post edited ro remove etc etc"
So that's the problem.
EDIT - Crap. It does say that. Never mind then.
EDIT2 - Sorry, clicked reply instead of modify.
Hope that Nigel Manning Smith didn't strike back...
Yeah, that guy's a real bastard....
I.....am lost....
But I shall nod in agreement with whatever Gilbot said. Whatever it was...

That's because he wrote what it was changed into "you.S" rather than what it was before it got changed.
Mr. Hyde: It's just the txt filter being stupid, make a note about it in the "Forum Upgrade" thread.
I can understand the txt-style garbage.. But why do my posts keep dissapearing?

That's your trouble, DG, you're always "us, us, us" :)
Yea, but Demorgon is crazy he's full of shit and insane! Remember?
Oh, my password misteriousley changes everytime I log on, I have a mail sent ot my email to cange it.
Lockey, Lockey 8)
If you think your posts are being edited look for the text saying it was edited. If iy says you edited it when you know you didn't, change your password and alert CJ. Moderators can't erase that edited by text and probably only if CJ edited the way the forums worked could he get rid of it.
I have also been away for a week so I didn't do anything to anyone.

Priceless.
It's editing more posts from people who aren't using txt style than those that are, and it's unecessary anyway.
It's only a minor annoyance, but I'm all for stamping out minor annoyances.
If people are going to use txt style spelling anyway, let them, so that we can sort the idiots from the clever people at first glance.

The old system was good, it took out some, but not unneccesary stuff.. now everything is edited...
"I have a bad feeling about this..."
I'd rather know who uses txt-style, so I can set about making fun of them.

I did have a bad feeling about this.. well, it didn't turn out so bad...
Ah, as part of the upgrade the txt-filter became case-insensitive, so it was filtering capital U as well as lower case.
This should now be fixed.
test: U.S.A.
Woohoo, worky, this good, like the old system k thx :)
