 :o I wrote something [suspicious]between the  suspicious brackets [/suspicious], then log off and enter as a guest. I still could read all. I thought that was what Ral meant.

Dina, maybe even as a guest you weren't suspicious enough. Maybe you have to do something really suspicious like shipping Harry with Mavra before you are banned from reading what's in the "suspicious" brackets.

I have heard that there are some posters on this forum that avoid the Oxford comma. I certainly find that suspicious.

Post by: cenwolfgirl on August 26, 2012, 08:50:52 PM
what is the Oxford comma? and how is it different from a normal comma ?  ???

Iago postes this:
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,33726.msg1560612.html#msg1560612

and in a quick search I found a reference to better control over spambots and such. I think it appeared with Cloudflare.

I enabled a module called "Bad Behavior" which basically checks if a visitor *might* be coming from a known spammer/etc location when they access the forum. Stuff that you wrap in the new tag won't be shown to the visitor if they are -- so you could, for example, share your email address, but enclose it in that tag to help make sure that a spammer that's running around the web searching for email addresses it could spam won't be able to see the address.

To everyone else, the effect of the tag will be invisible -- it'll simply be shown exactly as it would be before.

So, Oz was right. I was not suspicious enough  :) *an halo appears floating above her head*  :P
Thank you, Iago!

I snipped off the comma digressions (as they're not relevant to this topic) and moved that new thread over to the bar.
