Strange text in adverts

3 Feb 2006

Haven't seen a post on this (but haven't trawled through the whole of the glitch thread), but I see a fair few ads that look something like:

When I first started to see these, I just thought they were from idiots typing junk rather than a full ad, but with the frequency of them now, I begin to suspect a problem with the site - either when the ad is stored in the database, or when it's retrieved, or when it's put through the filter. I've checked with both Firefox and IE, so it's not a browser thing.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it, so the site owners can have a look.

No, it IS idiots! However, I found out that when an account is created then the user HAS to write an ad and so some just do the lazy thing and type loads of letters. Some are caught off guard and don't know what to put and say so!
Just use the 'report this ad' function and one of us will deal with it.
cool

Ahh - thank you Jags; I hadn't appreciated that ads were mandatory.
/me is glad now he didn't reply to ads saying "don't want to put anything here" asking why they did then smile

You know that thing about playing records backwards and hearing voices from the devil etc.
This is the same only its done by a binary decoder that works on numerical values based on prime numbers. Shed loads of binary gets put through the decoder and every now and then a foul evil expression is generated.
Much to the amusement or risk of anyone who cares to hang around such a device.
