Voat had a handy regex where it would automatically fix it when someone accidentally typed "/r/" instead of "/v/". It was handy until you got used to the place. Maybe we could do the same?

Hi,

Yeah, I found a similar bug where any variation of "bit do" would cause a post to fail.

I don't want to give the impression the above suggestion is an actual code commit or something. For all I know /*/ does horrible things with poals actual regex parser. I just know they had it on voat, it worked and it'd be handy if it were here. Every aggregator site seems to have it's own version of /v/ and it's a pain trying to remember them all.

Every aggregator site seems to have it's own version of /v/

true, but the code of this site has proven fixes applied 4.5 years ago in voat so its code base it at least as recent as the fork they took from voat.co, I regression test probed some of the bugs from 4.5 years ago last night. It cannot survive a "gibberish attack" DDOS if the left or antifa makes it a target, so I think its allowed to live as a honeypot of sorts, despite having better ssl than voat.co

MY LAST POST, goodbye
