NonBreakableSPace codes in ROM 'comments'

    It seems that when people add comments under a specific ROM title, the system pastes " " codes throughout the post. It appears to be random but I am sure there is some logic behind it. Is there anything we can do differently to help avoid the spurious " " getting pasted into the text making them harder to read? Maybe it is due to extra CR/LF's that are added it? Maybe it is from adding and/or deleting letters/words/spaces in some particular order?

    example: https://www.romulation.org/NDS/3467_-_Spongebob_vs_The_Big_One_Beach_Party_Cook_Off_(U)(Xenophobia).rar.html/

    Let me know if you have any questions..... thanks.

    I think seph has said before that it's people trying to insert html into their comments. If you can confirm it isn't that then we'll look into it.

    I don't think it is in this particular case. The comment handling needs a rewrite anyway, the tinyMCE javascript text box makes it a bit more complicated than the handling can handle. (if you're excuse the bad pun)

    @Loonylion - I am not inserting any HTML into my comments; straight text typing.

    @Seph - I understand, thanks for the explanation. I mostly wanted to make sure someone was aware of it. Also, I apologize for the comments you removed from that post. I was only trying to add humor but I will be more considerate going forward.

    Thanks.
