    Well, basically, I wanted to take the pressure off Mods from editing peoples posts that ask for rep. So i came up with an idea:

    Put lots of combos of asking for rep into the word filter, and have it come out in the opposite way.

    Watch as i type (Rep) me. --Rep me

    Uh oh, didnt come out quite the same :)

    Now, this is to deter people from asking for rep on renders or tutorials or packs or anything. We wouldn't have to have this if people would have just stopped asking for it when we said too.

    Anyway, there are problems with this system that we KNOW of, and they should be getting fixed, so no getting mad yet :)

    If you guys dident understand what he means, you can no longer type (plus)Rep, as it will be changed to -Rep. So dont ask for it.

    What if people type --Rep me instead?

    I'd reverse the reverse psychology..

    Good Idea. I [ -rep ] Oh Noes. Now can we -rep these people since they apparently asked for it?

    Thats a good Idea, that should stop some people from asking.

    We will just update the filter.

    I don't like this really, because when people say (plus)-Rep Appreciated, they aren't asking, they are giving a reminder that you don't have to give a credit or two for it, instead just some recognition.

    I have so far been robbed of 5 reputation points today because of this. They think they can't (plus)-Rep me just because when they say "(plus)rep for you" it turns into -rep and then bam, I lost something I think I deserved. Now I'm going to start selling my renders.

    That's kinda why keyword filter sucks, it turns words like "class" into "cl!"£" just because that word has "ass" in it.

    lets see if this works..

    Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a way for you to block certain URLs from your site?
