h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So, here's my idea. If the Moderators /have/ to censor an individual word, then instead of replacing it with just a bunch of bland and uninteresting asterisks, they could replace it with !@#$%&, which looks silly!

Hmm.

Maybe it's not quite such a good idea.

I wonder if moderators are familiar with those silly hacker symbols, or if that 5h1+ d035n'+ m@k3 @ny 53n53 2 +h3m.

Huh. I know /I'm/ not. Translation, please?

Darn. If I explain the code, then they'll moderate the post above. Oh well, maybe no one will notice. It's easy. Just imagine every number or symbol that looks similar to a letter of the alphabet. For example, 5 would look like the letter S if you made it a little curvier. A plus sign is similar to a lowercase "T". The numeral 1 is interchangable with capital "I" or lowercase "L".

five h @ L zero m = 5h@L0m = shalom

five h one plus = 5h1+ = another word for "dung"

5h1+

See the resemblance? Sort of a visual pun.

Upside-down. I see. Once I get the translation, it looks obvious.

What would the f-word then be? Like |=vc]{?

Let's not start this. Moderation will...
