How to remap 'New text file' command ?

[Dalai]

Could you explain your cryptic operations for a dumb Pole, please? Are they really needed? What is wrong with that Q?

Some words or character sequences trigger the forum's spam protection. Q#Q - without the # - is one of them. Just try to submit a posting with them and you'll see that it's rejected.

Does PW mean Password?

Most probably.

Much easier instruction is to just remove all #s from file BTW.

Also, forbidden sequences may be simply split by line breaks in BASE64 so no replacements will be required.

PS. I wonder what does that QQ mean that forum restricts it.

MVV,
ＱＱ is a chinese instant messenger and there were about 50 chinese spam threads per night a few months ago each including a ＱＱ number as a contact in one form or another, so I asked Christian to disallow posts with ＱＱ in them. This is an unfortunate but hopefully bearable side-effect.

Thanks for the details, I understand the reason.

Well, you should read the RFC 4648 standard for Base64 encoding:

Implementations MUST reject the encoded data if it contains
characters outside the base alphabet when interpreting base-encoded
data, unless the specification referring to this document explicitly
states otherwise. Such specifications may instead state, as MIME
does, that characters outside the base encoding alphabet should
simply be ignored when interpreting data ("be liberal in what you
accept").

It means that hashes (###) should be ignored. And TC decodes Base64 in MIME the right way: ignores unsupported characters and displays the following warning:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Decode
---------------------------
WARNING: Illegal char(s) in input file!
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

So who really needs those bells-and-whistles?

I have already stated that the only way to prevent and discourage spam bombing is to moderate all the new users. CAPTCHA is good only for automated bombing. Moderation has always side effects - in this case it's is some delay in post publication.

[...] I can't find the command name for 'New text file' function [..]

As it wasn't mentioned yet, somewhere in the 13 years that have past since, this was added:

Code: Select all
