"Funny" auto-censors are something for community and social boards.
One of my major bugbears is stuff like this on a company's official messageboards. A subtler brand of humour (such as say using the auto-censor to replace all curse words with a comic-based curse or the classic comic-curse symbols) if you must, but not something as totally random and inane as this.
It's out of setting, it's not professional-looking enough and it smacks of "let's play with the new toy, they'll get a kick out of this for five minutes".
Sorry, but a vote down here for any 'Funny' auto-censors.

Of course, if this is nothing but a troll post, enjoy! Ha ha, Pancake.

Obvious rickroll is obvious.

Well it is now.
Way to ruin it Forse. You lose 10 interwebz pointz.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

Also, on an unrelated note, that silly period at the end of your post annoys me. |

I'm sorry, I didn't realise posting a link called "Here" that clearly displays a youtube link when you hover over it was anything but a deliberate and very obvious rickroll.
Whatever shall I do now I've ruined the unfunny troll joke? Maybe I'll PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE myself with a PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE and PANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKEPANCAKE until I don't know up from down.

If it's any consolation to you, I fully approve of you ruining any ricktrolls you come across.

I hope the pancake fad dies out.
Somethings come under the 'funny once' tag for me, an dthis is one of them.
Be much less obnoxious if it was just a single PANCAKE.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Which is just silly because it makes them sound like people whose socks have been repaired.

The fact that it also happens to be the game's official message board is not especially relevant.
It's not like we're discussing the finer points of quantum astrophysics here. We're talking about a VIDEO GAME. How serious do you really expect it to be?

If it discourages people from swearing by turning their posts into an illegible mess, I'm all for it.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.

It makes it *more* relevant. This is the *official* board. Juvenile nonsense like that (a) coming from the mods and (b) making posts *more difficult* to read should be discouraged. |

If you see things like that here, and you see things like, oh, the end of Antimatter's arc (with "This is text!" and "I am still inactive" coming up,) frankly I'd have to wonder if there was a paid design team or someone's 12 year old in charge.
