I’m sorry, but I failed to see the affecting posts in the axle misalignment thread.
As for the popular location for such bypassing these days, the thread dedicated to discussing the 20chr limit, there is always an option to just not read it.
I apologize if I come across abrasively, but the bypass is a useful tool. I know I use a form of it regularly in the Team Quotes thread to pull quotes from other threads, and then post them in a condensed way as a simple quote box, without additional text to read through.
Alas, as outlined in the other thread (which I’ll quote below), the minimum exists for a reason.
There is more discussion on the topic in the linked thread.
Nevertheless, as an adamant user of bypass “tricks,” I kind of feel attacked by this topic, though I do understand that it (hopefully) wasn’t the intention.
In my eyes, the problem is more with those who choose to type useless text as opposed to “invisible bypassers,” but, now that a couple of bypass tricks are out there in the open, I expect we’ll see more “useless” posts using an invisible bypass.
Still, I refuse to apologize for utilizing such “tricks,” simply because I believe that the ways I (and others, such as Xenon27) use the bypass aren’t as useless as (perhaps mistakingly) implied here.
Edit:
In anticipation of backlash
I apologize again for the abrasiveness of this post. No user(s) is targeted specifically.
Reasoning behind abrasive style
Say what you will, but one reason I admire(d) the (now banned) @Anomaly is because of his rough and to-the-point posting style. Agreed, he (allegedly) went too far on some occasions, but that does not factor into my opinion of the style.
