Spelling rules

[Thedoccc]

I have noticed people sp3ll1ng different 5ubs7@nces differently in many posts.

Is this a best practice or rule to do it this way or is it just some faux opsec?

@Thedoccc it kind of helps keep "people" from finding this forum when using a search engine with certain terms, though it doesn't keep bots/scrapers away on its own.

This. Anybody/any”thing”(if you search active members it’s like 90% bots of varying companies/origins clearly and actively searching/watching the site) already aware of this place, as somebody else who I can’t remember(may have been @xenxra which I don’t think I spelled right) put it “it’s like hiding in plain site, in a dark forest against people wearing night vision goggles” or something to that effect. It’s not to protect you per se, but more so to protect visibility of the site by people searching certain words, especially those of obscure or new magazines or ones that that result in your posts being altered/removed or you being banned for even talking about.

But in the same regard there’s things that shouldn’t be openly said or discussed no matter how it’s spelled(or misspelled) as it’s a surefire way to get this place shut the fuck down faster than a fly on shit. These things should be obvious, but it seems new members that likely joined because many people don’t alter any spelling are the biggest offenders of openly asking and discussing things that shouldn’t be talked about period, at least anywhere outside of a private and preferably e2e encrypted method of communication. While I admittedly am far from a perfect, or even good example keeping things vague and to the point without any real discussion or names or anything are a key element of protecting yourself and others in the event that somebody somewhere deems this place of interest to do whatever against.

Alternative names/abbreviations keep traffic down, which keeps attention down, which allows this place to exist without being a target of real interest. It isn’t a m@rk£t. It’s not a website that allows, condones or promotes the s@l£ or use of anything questionable in the eyes of L£, but rather a place for people to discuss the reputation, legitimacy and to leave reviews of authors and to call out the ones who scam.

I just wish the vendor's threads/posts were *totally* locked down in a private/protected area, but I don't run the Forum and it's not my Rules. But members should be always vigilant, IMHO.
