Discussion Weird display in Forum thread!

[Roland Of Gilead]

Hi all,

Just been answering a thread here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/single-vs-dual-channel-and-some-advice.3458810/

A very unusual error occurred after another user posted an answer, with a black line appearing down through the thread. Here's a screenshot :

There is a black line running down through the thread. Anyone else had an issue like this?

Cheers

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by griefing?

Griefing is the act of basically being annoying or generally spamming something annoying.
The person is posting scrolling text similar to zalgo text that takes up more than it's character space.
Mods should catch on.

This was fixed.

By banning the user and deleting his posts

Would rather not publicly share here how its done, but with some googling its easy to find. Its basically a text format that causes all of your text to try and take the same space. Used not for trolling purposes it can have some cool effects.
