There is no filter that causes this sort of substitution. What you are seeing is people purposefully substituting nonsense characters in place of certain words to test the filters. They're simply trying to figure out which words are being blocked to figure out a way around the filters.

Odette II" 12/26/02 2:18:50 PM >>> The question: Is there some sort of filter running on GroupStudy that is substituting the following string of text for what some folks are posting in their messages when referring to a website?? The offending text: @!#$.com Or, am I just retarded, and there is now a way to access a url made up of those special characters??
