So of all the things you can do in DF, it's the fractal artifacts that make you think dwarves are crazy.

Never mind the magma falls, the atom smashers, the cog-and-axle turing-complete computers, or the colonizing of Hell itself... all those are fine, but man, those recursive artifacts! Where do they get such ideas?

The same method can be used to uncensor words.  The trick was finding where to place it.  No special characters that look like normal characters need to be used either, or special characters that take up no space.

What part of the forum software causes it? It looks like it's a case of clbuttic code.

Probably because there's a
Code: [Select]
[tr] tag already and the forum automatically changes case when it finds an instance of
Code: [Select]
[TR

Yeah. Look in the raws.

It is a case of clbuttic code, but due to formatting rather than censorship.
