Remove the character repeat spam filter... PLEASE

The character repeat filter is really annoying. When you type a color, like white, with hex, it will be #ff instead of #fff­fff (added invisible character to last one).
[color=#ff]Test[/color]

When typing some code, it will remove the repeating characters in the code. When you link something with repeating characters, it removes the repeating characters and replaces them with just two of the characters.

This limits us a lot when typing, and it is really annoying. Many other members has already suggested this. Some were answered and some hasn't yet, but none were truly answered by a staff.
My suggestion would be to either remove the feature completely, or to make it stop replacing the words, but not count the additional characters when posting to stop the spammers (which I never see anyone do?).

Thank you.
I would like to see this implemented.
It would be a great benefit to all of HF.

I strongly support this. It caused me so many problems in the past. I already suck at MyBB formatting and presentation, imagine when I had this problem for the first time and that I didn't know what was going on.

My era of providing technical support and malware removal on HackForums is over, so you can stop PM'ing me about it. Sorry.
Yep, it gets pretty annoying but apparently it's a 'feature' of MyBB and core edits are not preferred. It'd be great to finally have nice looking code though.

Why would MyBB add a feature that doesn't even work then ? That sounds stupid to me.

I recall that this was a feature added by Omni a long time ago.

(THANKS)
Hope the staff sees this and it gets noticed!

Best wishes.
Yup. This feature does more harm then good.
Oh hey guys, check out this thread too: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=3533

Oh sorry, I was just trying to show what I meant. The real thread ID was 3533 333 333
I am kidding of course. It's just to show you what I mean.
I personally have no experienced this but if this happens it should be fixed.
I agree with you on this snorlax. It needs to be dealt with.

This feature needs to be fixed, at least for the tags.

OP:

._. I'm just gonna give the same answer. It's been suggested, and it's been denied. But for now, I'll close this thread and if Omni feels it
needs to be address, he can reopen/reply to the closed topic and leave a response, just saying though, don't hold your breath. .-.
