Posts in Introduce Yourself no longer count to your post count
'Okay this wasn't really a bug.'
Certain users whom shall not be named were found to be rapidly gaining post count by posting multiple idiosyncratic posts in introduction threads, dangerously close to the minimum character limit.
We found most people were just saying a variation of 'Hello' followed by memes, so we've disabled post count across the Introduce Yourself forum. Don't let this deter you from greeting new members and getting to know them, we just don't want you going full Melchior and grinding post count, that's all.
We may revert this change in the future as things progress.
A bug in the word censor has been fixed
'You know who you are.'
Certain users whom shall not be named were found to be relishing in the discovery of a bug in the word censor by ceremoniously posting cuss words in threads, in profile fields and in signatures. This bug has been fixed.
A reminder that this is a SFW PG-13 forum. Regardless if the word is censored or not, please do not use language that is profane or inappropriate for a civil atmosphere. I've noticed a lot of users' posts being caught in the word censor. Even if the censor does its job properly, consider many more, alternative SFW words in the English language.

'We don't know why this happened either'
A bug allowing users to gain market points in Pointless Forum Games has been fixed
'Grinding points to ban Sonrio from the forums with the recall bug'
Despite having post count disabled, users were still gaining points for posts and threads in Pointless Forum Games. This led to some pretty crazy exploits to gain massive amounts of points in a short space of time with the Crystal Kit, so we quickly tidied this one up.
