in the feature feedback thread there is the your thoughs on forum culture thread.
in the starting post, there is a link to this website: http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/006036.html#006036
sometimes this page redirects you. didn't used to. anyhow just use your back button.
and it mentions this idea:
12. Disemvowelling works. Consider it.
anyone have a shell script, website, program, or other tool that removes vowels from a string without affecting the metatags?
this might be more effective than formal warnings, and might let people know the moderators are monitoring things.

According to the search tools, "vowel" and "Disemvowelling" do not exist at either of those links.
I also have no idea what you are talking about! _____________________

I think Stone meant to refer to this URL:
“Virtual Panel Participation: Spam, Trolls, Stalkers: The Pandora’s Box of community” Disemvoweling is discussed there. |

I find it even funnier when vowels are ADDED.

double every vowel? Quadruple, or octuple in some cases. And, oh, add lots of liberal dashes of exclamation marks!!! and UPPERCAPS. You know what I'm going for. But seriously, I was curious what this was about, and Google seems to have turned up some history: http://novalis.org/cgi/vowel.cgi http://www.minibb.net/forums/4_2160_0.html http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Disemvoweler Or more colorfully, perhaps, are the many variants like these: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/jbc/home/chef.html Which can turn: "THERE can be no doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience. For how should our faculty of knowledge be awakened into action did not objects affecting our sense partly of themselves produce representations, partly arouse the activity of our understanding to compare these representatiots, and, by combining or separating them, work up the raw material of the sensible impressions into that knowledge of objects which is entitled experience?" into: ""THERE cun be-a nu duoobt thet ell oooor knooledge-a begeens veet ixpereeence-a. Fur hoo shuoold oooor fecoolty ooff knooledge-a be-a evekened intu ecshun deed nut oobjects effffecteeng oooor sense-a pertly ooff zeemselfes prudooce-a representeshuns, pertly eruoose-a zee ecteefity ooff oooor understundeeng tu cumpere-a zeese-a representeteeuts, und, by cumbeening oor sepereteeng zeem, vurk up zee rev metereeel ooff zee senseeble-a impresseeuns intu thet knooledge-a ooff oobjects vheech is inteetled ixpereeence-a?" _____________________
