Title: Chicken
Post by: AlexS on August 16, 2015, 08:35:34 pm
If I type ch1cken (substitute 1 for i here) it comes out as chicken.
Try it, press preview.

This is a chicken and egg scenario.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I can type chіcken. Chіcken, chіcken, chіcken.

Maybe your computer is doing crazy things?  Maybe someone is messing with just you? Or, wait... Maybe Nathan ruined it for everyone (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80792.0) (and yet I have mystical toys).

not sure why they have this ch1cken issue, but it has come up before.

I think it may keep someone from calling someone a ch1cken

Nope.  Rules apply to Admins too (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=88041.msg603428#msg603428).

Chіcken.

But admins have their hand on the python switch.

Actually... Nope. Turning the censored word off and then on again doesn't work. The forum software replaces the text on-the-fly but actually stores the original text.  When you turn on a censored word, since the replacement happens "on the fly" it actually replaces all occurrences of the word forever back in time (back to the very first occurrences of the word on the forum).  You can see that this is how it works if you search for censored words.  So, if you search for "python" you only find results where the original post actually wrote "python" (mostly a bunch of Monty Python references, fwiw). If you search for "chіcken" you find a bunch of posts where people are saying "python" but actually meant "chіcken".

So... No, it isn't just having a hand on the switch.  Which, even if it was, wouldn't explain how RoderickGI was able to do it. ;)

Ah, but that isn't how Glynor did it. Just quote his post and you can see it isn't. Your method is too easy to see.

So you still have a mission ahead of you.  ;D  Chicken

What did you expect? Grown pythons, perhaps? ;)

Side note:
Some time ago, around the start of this thread, I tried pasting "c <backspace>hicken" into the message box already. Unfortunately, it appears that the forum doesn't like backspace characters. :-[
