I started playing on a WoW private server where the admins claim that they don't "sell p2w items or gold", after being online for 1minute, I got the message with the text of pic related.
Now I'm not a paranoid person, but this really made me scratch my head. Look at the way the spammer is avoiding the pattern matching system, or maybe trying to make it look like he is avoiding it.
he places an _ character after the sign $ ($_), I assume this is to show that the developers don't allow placing a $ followed by a space character.
Later on in this message I see that he puts a _ character after every word, I don't understand why those patterns would be matched, without causing the players trouble communicating. I assume it is to show that the admins are not allowing him to post.
between the word pets and if you see 6 _ characters pets__if, I don't really understand this at all.
Now here is the money line, between, buy and the site link, we see 6 _ characters but the spammer is able to write the link without any issue.
Often I see spammers write www dot link dot com, yet here, we see a complete url, unmolested.
Am I paranoid /tech/?
