Title: is it jut me or are there "s"es popping up everywhere
Post by: kasperl on April 01, 2003, 06:42:03 am: see topic. can see the letter "s" popping up a lot in poeple's posts, even posts by users who have perfect spelling ohterwhise.

BTW, i mean "s"es at places they don't belong, causing words such as shere, shear, and that kinda stuff.

if the admins have nothing to do, they can always try and stop the spam in the General FS and FS modding forums.
