I just encountered this whilst editing my post on the Server Opinions topic. EDIT: It's also happening here.

I am writing words with spaces in them so they don't get auto-substituted.

(1) Reply to this topic with the word "people" somewhere in your text
(2) Edit your post
(3) Notice it has changed to "f a g g o t s" (I have to put spaces in that word for it to show)
(4) Hit "Apply message changes" (with the wrong word there)
(5) Notice that it now turns back into "people".

Not sure if this is an old joke resurfacing or something new.

Also dotpoints get weirdly reformatted (with extra newlines) when you hit edit, so there appear to be multiple things processing form text.

Testing from a different browser: people

EDIT: Yes it's happening here too. It's the website, not any addons or the like.

Editing times out, so one more time: Testing people testing

Attached video evidence, in case someone calls me crazy later when if this gets changed.

There is a word censor feature that changes some 'dirty' words indeed.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

It's a forum bug. There are some dirty words that get substituted to good words, but when you edit, it tries to revert it to the previous version... I'm surprised it never got fixed.

I'm the bawss.
