Out of pure interest, why was this disabled?

I didn't know it worked until the News announcement appeared saying it'd been removed...

Afterthought: Hmm, I suppose that it could have been done a) because the point of a motto is it's unique, not dynamic, and people can be insulted in them... "@@NAME@@ is a satanist" or other similar thing...

After-Afterthought: I have nothing against Satanists...

After-After-Afterthought: Weird, the edits aren't showing up...

EDIT: Removed macro to stop annoying people... :D

The macros prevent a security risk. They can be used to alter variables on the server.

Edits do not show up unless:

A. Your post is replied too.

OR

B. You close the browser window and do not reopen it for a while (how long I am not sure)

I believe that he is quoting one of the mods(Cog, I think) who said something to that effect.

If Cog said something to that effect, then he was grammatically ill... ;)

It still doesn't make sense... :P

I am to lazy to look up the thread, but it was Ballotonia who said to Salusa, that people would start experimenting with @@KILL-RANDOMNAME@. And it made sense to [violet] So disabling this macro came from that.

No, I think she meant:

Death to @@NAME@@.

Yeah, same for me.

I still don't see what's wrong with insults. That's how international affairs are conducted. If someone insults you, just have your allies take revenge in some form. War is fun!
17-10-2003, 23:32
There's a @@KILL-RANDOMNAME@@?!?!?!

That was only an example. It could just have been @@DEATNAME@@.
Thus everyone who read that macro would be deated. Would have saved Neut a whole lot of work though :twisted:

Won't make any difference.

I know what they're referring to, in the last five posts list on the index page, it still parses the macros...

*removes it...*
