This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

WTF?

Did  something horrible happen to the forum format, or is my browser fucked?

..never mind, it just healed itself...
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Probably the same switch to the mobility site issue that BV experienced.

Test. I'm getting "non-standard characters" when I try to post.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

What sort of non-standard characters?

I don't know about these guys, but I quoted Tristram Evans the other day and until I dropped the quote part, I couldn't post. Got a red message telling me I couldn't use the Nonstandard Characters " '''' " which... wasn't in anything I wrote or quoted. Four apostrophes in a mass.  It... might have said something about european characters, but I can't recall for or against, much less the exact statement.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

The system is finding non-ascii characters, typically copied from MS WORD. It's meant to stop all those chinese spammers we had. I'll try to work up a filter to fix special english characters, but no promises. Until then, you'll need to weed out weird characters in posts on your own.

I'v found now when I get that message I cut the text, paste it into the browser address window, then re-copy it and paste it back into the message and it lets me post.
