Really, I don't mind the joke. If I made a big deal out of everything that bothers me, I wouldn't get time in the day to do anything else. This one, however, bothers me because it makes posts harder to read. If it were just a single instance of "pancake" instead of "PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE," I wouldn't mind, honest. Hell, I could even live with PANCAKE in all caps. After all, the in-game censorship does <bleep> and <@#$%!> and no-one minds. But a long all-caps uni-word just makes things hard to read, and that does irritate.

Hmmm apparently what makes men men is censored but what makes women women isn't.

Though I agree that the one-PANCAKE-per-letter implementation is a bit overboard.

I actually had pancakes for breakfast this morning, it's like the mods read my mind or something.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE?
Don't you mean CARROTCARROTCARROTCARROT?
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say "Pancake" at will to old ladies... 
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
well, some old ladies are scarier than the ruffians...

I love this PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE. |
old hat too. On the guild wars guru forums the anti swear thing change every swear word to RED ENGINE GORED over and over and over. Gets old real fast.

This is some PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE right here.
Wow that was easy to get out of my system.
I guess its a stare down.
Who will get bored/annoyed first? The curser that its gets changed, or the people that have to put up with it and demand that the mods change it?

LOl. I'm going to state for the record before there's an fire that I'm British, and i don't think there's anything particularly wrong about American English. I do have a few small personal dislikes ('to grow' a company being my most hated lol), but I've also got pet hates in British English too.|

There is only English, and Bad English. I speak primarily Bad English, but at least I don't put extra letter U's in everything. |
I also use 'Did you see the movie yet?' sometimes without any guilt lol.

My view on the 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' thing is that it was mildly amusing the first time i saw it, but the amusement was quickly overshadowed by irritation at the fact that I had to edit my post afterwards to make it fit horizontally in my browser, since 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' is very long. I replaced the word 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE ' with 'b***tard' because when you just see 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE', people have no idea which expletive you used. I wouldn't want people thinking i'd written 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' when i'd used a far milder swearword such as PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE, PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE or tosspot.
This used to happen under the old system too, I admit, but when you've got such an arbitrary system (BR Eng allowed, Am Eng not, I guess is the problem), it's difficult to know what's acceptable and what's not.
The one good thing about it is that in posts such as this one, in which i'm referencing 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' quite a lot, I don't actually have to type out 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' every time - I can just type 'PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE' instead, which is only 4 letters long, and the filter will change it for me.

I can appreciate or at least ignore a bad joke when at least it doesn't get in the way, but this is actively prohibiting me from reading some posts, just because the forums have decided that "PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE" is a curse word but "dick" isn't.
Kill Skuls was funny because it started with a funny story. Well, it was funny for a day or two. The lesbian Hellion motherfather and the deth kick were funny because they started from funny bios, and those managed to be funny for a few weeks simply because they were harder to use in a sentence. This was never funny to begin with, unless you're five years old and believe yelling random words is PARSNIPPARSNIPPARSNIPPARSNIPPARSNIP funny. And it isn't. |
Cute lego guy.
Can't help but feel anyone who spends time hunting for a serious business pic to post in an ironic manner is indeed taking matters too seriously himself though. 
Will all these gosh darn pancakes keep us from being auto-logged off the forums?
