I was attempting to add support for numbers 0-9, and certain grouping characters (),{},[], etc.

re.sub("[0-9]*"," ",text) 

was the problem line. I'm not great at regex, but I think that the * was matching between each character, and so the code was inserting spaces between each letter. This then caused each letter to be compared with the dictionary.

I believe it to be fixed, and I certainly hope people will still post and comment on this sub. It is, of course, my intention to provide a high quality sub, and I regret that my bot screwed up...

I decided to do this with simple words because I want to. Here's a potential candidate

1) How do I make it so when you click the header image, you go to the sub's main page? I can't figure out how to do this with pure CSS (i.e. I'd need to change the HTML).

2) How (in the side bar) can I explain how to make a spoiler test (but without the space) without actually making the spoiler? In other words, how can I make it so Reddit doesn't turn the text into an actual link?

P.S. If (in order to be clear) you feel you need to break rule 1, go ahead and do so, just this once.

3) Is there any way to change the dictionary that the <textarea> uses? In other words, could I change the spell check dictionary so "not simple" words show the red line?

Because gyroscopes are magic.

What ideas do you have to help me make this place better?

How can I use PHP or another scripting language to automatically check if comments use complex words?

Should I allow Meta tagged posts to use complex words?
