Apparently Crimson installed ANOTHER word filter after I posted. The **** was originally bg'sound (without the ') -- My post originally only had a single asterisk before bg'sound (again, no '). The filter turned it into 5 asterisks.
I dunno why she thinks that's necessary though... If I were running a site and I didn't want people to insert background sounds in their posts, I'd let them do what they want and then just ban them for breaking the rules. I think setting up barriers all over the place so it's not even possible for us to break the rules is pretty fucking lame. Maybe she has to do that because she doesn't have the balls to ban people...
But hey, that's just me. It's her site, so I guess she can do what she wants with it.

In her first post she clearly shows, she doesn't like it. And I think it's better to have a filter, then just have to constantly warn people first, and if they don't listen kick them.
To be hones I totally agree with the no music rule. Not only does it take up bandwith, but whenever I visit a website with sound it's annoying as hell. And next to that, what would happen if multilpe people in one topic would have sound. You can see 25 posts, before a new page starts. That would be at max, 25 songs playing at the same time, and if your lucky they are looping. So no, please no music.
Size doesn't matter.

Hmm... that's interesting logic. I would rather block the problem because the forum isn't supposed to allow that HTML tag in the first place rather than make people suffer with idiotic music playing in a thread until I find it or it's reported to me.
I'm the bawss.

why don't you just disable the tag?
ffs, just filter "<" and replace it with "& lt" in every post. solves the problem.
and don't let "[ bg-sound " do anything.
And shepherds we shall be,
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand;
That our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee,
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Because the old posts we imported from the other forums require HTML to be on. I have a list in the forum config of approved tags... I don't know why it would let bg-sound work.
