"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

We'll be updating bungie.net with some stability fixes, some performance fixes, and some other changes. Most of the changes you won't notice, but there are a few major ones:

* The profanity filter has been altered for performance reasons - the upshot is that if you use a naughty word and try and break it up with formating tag in a vain hope of bypassing the filter, you'll find all of your formatting tags stripped.
* You'll also see the return of the "Most Popular Forum Thread" sidebar item.
* Group admins will be happy to know that they'll be able to type in the name of a blacklisted user to jump directly to that user's entry rather than having to find their name in a list.
* Group admins will also find a new admin tool available for those with the "Group Settings" security bit set - the Group History viewer. The system will keep track of certain important actions, like security role changes and member additions and removals, and display them to you. Veteran users will recognize it as a reincarnation of the old fanclub activity log, but with a focus on group security.
* Of course, there were a bunch of little bug fixes here and there, such as Internal Server Error from the stat RSS feeds, as well as a fix to the automatic thread locking feature that wasn't completely locking some old threads.

No, right now (if "poopie" is your bad word) if you made poopie - it would be censored as normal. After the update, doing something like that will cause EVERY tag to be stripped as well as censor your bad word.

This change will make my life a lot easier.... I usually send "Welcome messages" to all new members. I have to review the whole list and compare it to the printed list from the day before to find the new members. I am assuming that when people leave or are blacklisted, banned, they also will be listed. Is this a correct assumption on my part or just wishfull thinking?

Anyway, This is a much needed and appreciated change.

Thank you, dave

No, I think that there should be more themes for groups. I've seen some pretty nice ones that haven't been accepted yet. Other than that, this update is teh awesome! I can blacklist people in my group easier! w00t!
