Disemvowelr? - A new passive-aggressive form of moderation..
 

Keywords: Disemvowel, Devowel, Revowel

Description:
Where to start? Basically, this modification will allow you (the moderator) to strip a post of it's vowels (ie. "disemvowel" -- get it? See what I did there? Oh yes..) Why would you want to do this? Well, I can think of a multitude of reasons.. none of them relevant, but I digress. Disemvoweling has been made e-famous by popular blog sites such as BoingBoing and Gizmodo.


Details:
So, what is disemvoweling exactly?

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it:
Neat idea, huh? Yea.. I thought so, too.. and here we are!

Cliff-Notes (y'know, for the slow..):

All template edits are done automagically for you. However, if you'd like to do them yourself in an alternate location, color, whatever -- simply disable the auto-template editor plugin via the Plugin Manager.

Version History:

• 1.0 - Initial release, here's to hoping..
• 1.1 - Added a FAQ entry as to what disemvoweling is and linked to it from within the disemvoweled post.
• 1.1.1 - Added auto-template support for postbit_legacy
• 1.2 - Icons! Yay! Also included instructions for manual template edits (see README.TXT)
• 1.3 - Fixed a problem when disemvoweling a post with quotes (or possibly any BBCODE). Now the post is stripped of BBCODES before disemvoweled. No more broken quote tags.

* Please note that this modification was developed on a forum with a userbase of 1 (myself). I've tested it for basic functionality but I cannot guarantee functionality or behavior on your forum. So, please -- make backups before installing this product!

I don't get it. What does this do? Im german and i don't understand the description and the pictures also doesn't tell much (to me)

Allows you to strip a post of it's vowels, rather than deleting it.. thus allowing for public shaming of the affected party.

I'm cautious. Your screen shot shows the word diemvowel in the postbit. Looks like it may stretch it out a bit.

... What?

Hey Magnus, glad to see you're releasing VB 3.8 mods.... your mods are cool!

Very amusing, does it show the disemvowelled notice to all members or just staff?

All members.. I thought it would make a more effected deterrent that way, as well as explain what happened.

You did a great job ! Thanks

Is it simple to remove the notice? I would like this one without it and let our members know about it but when people spam and troll they will end up confused.
