Near-white text counts towards character limit.

[Ashbad 969]

Loophole, anyone?

 

This text will be invisible to the human eye, yet counts towards the 100 character limit. Delightful oversight. The color is #fffffe.

 

^ Near-white colors count towards the character limit, you'll see.

 

Perhaps change the definition of "invisible text" to any color code that has all of the R, B, and G channels at least or over 0xE0?

 

As you can see, #dfdfdf is basically the closest you can get to invisible without actually being invisible.

We've been aware of this loophole since the original implementation of the character limit. This ambiguity (along with numerous other bugs and inadequacies) will be adressed and patched up in the near future. Thanks for letting us know nonetheless.

 

The recurring patterns that members often attempt to bypass the limit with, are typically easy to detect on our end, white text or otherwise. ^^;

its way to easy to spot when someone uses white text however because the post looks alot shorter then 100 charactors and you can just highlight it just to be sure

 

anyone who uses it is just lazy , so just report and move on
