I hate to sound like a whiner, but something that's always irked me are people that deliberately break page formats by posting excessively long sequences of characters. Derivations of "whaaaa" being one of the popular ones. These wind up forcing the horizontal scroll bar to pop up, and posts that would otherwise be reasonable paragraph chunks turn into two or three sentences where you have to scroll back and forth just to read their contents.
80 characters, to my understanding, is what is considered the traditional line length. Would it be possible for any "words" that break this rule automatically get truncated to 80 (kind of like site links, but without the clickability) and bumped to a new line, or even filtered to say something stupid like "MY FINGERS GOT STUCK TO MY KEYBOARD" to help maintain an easy browsing experience?
I suppose this also extends to thread titles that break the tables of Forum Categories link.

Violence good. Sexy bad. Yay America.
That bugs the crap out of me too. If I click on a thread that pops up with a horizontal scroll bar, I just hit my back button, it's not worth the effort to read the thread anymore.
Would be nice.
Preferably make it auto-ban whoever does break the 80 character limit.
If people are writing whaaa to break the format, they're being morons and had it coming for a long time.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
When you see those link them into here and someone will get them adjusted. As for the filter for that, will send along to a programmer. ( and I agree with ya! )
My name is Jophiel and I approve of the OP's message.

Semi-OT, but I don't feel like making a new thread about it.
Am I going paranoid or are characters disappearing from posts? I wrote "Silent" in a post, I'm sure I did, but when I checked the post later it said "Silen".
Perhaps I'm just typing too fast and not catching all the typos, but it's been going on a lot lately and I thought I'd ask, just in case someone else has the same issue and thinks he's crazy too.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam
