Nightmare with RW

[juio99]

Welcome to Helsinki!

There was a companion piece telling how terrible RW were.  But I couldn't get it past the word check despite 10 tries of trying to fix it up, so I had to give up on it.

I sent you a list of the words the language filter objects to so you should be able to post the message you wanted by searching for and eliminating them if you want.

Patrick, I checked the list you sent, and none of those words were even in the original piece before I tried to sanitize it.  (oh no, sorry, the b word was there, but I took it out)  You can obtain the original piece from the link shown in the 'Heaven' post below and try it yourself.

Don't know if it would be worth it to you, but my suggestion would be to have your word checker 'highlight' the word it stops on to facilitate the process of 'fixing up' the posts.

I actually do have highlighting built in to the program, but I disabled it because people were using it to experiment with ways to get around the rules by modifying the words in different ways.

I can turn it on again to check the post.  One of the things the script does is check for the individual letters of the word(s) with space (or any other characters) in between the letters (like B*A*D W_O^R*D).  I suspect that's what happened with your post.  It happens a lot more with large bodies of text.

Could you e-mail or post a link to it for me? I'd like to pass these along to my Russian friends. They're always asking me what people in North America think of them. Thanks.

The original link is in the Heaven post below.  But, Zink, the point is, these posts were prepared in view of the tendency of most involved to show no signs of reasonableness or moderation in their views.

Russians have a sense of humour too. I'm sure they'll enjoy reading this.
