Possible use of a word filter

[Buttons]

I've only been here a short time but I've seen this a bunch of times...

Someone is discussing using PAM (Provent-A-Mite) and a newbie comes in thinking they mean the cooking spray. This could be VERY detrimental to a new snake if the owner decides to coat them in cooking spray.

Is it possible to setup the word filter so that when someone types "PAM" it auto converts it to Provent-A-Mite?

Interesting idea. Will see about it

Look at this thread and posts # 6, 7 and 9

I REALLY think this is a good idea before someone does some major damage to their snake by coating them in cooking spray

Hasn't there been talk of this?

I know Redtailboa.net uses a system like this.

But what it does is it makes commonly abbreviated things highlighted, and then at the end of they're post, it tells you what it means.

I agree I know that is what first came to my mind when I saw PAM

You have a point there.

I remember reading "PAM" and thought it was the cooking spray until someone said Provent-A-Mite.
