Who are you to tell me I can't use that word in my subject line? More censorship?

I just discovered that I cannot say

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

in a subject line on DU.

ERROR: Posting error

Long subjects require periodic spaces


Where will it end, I ask you? Damned thought police!

:hi:

12. I know. I have tried to type
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! in the subject line before.

Even my STREAKERRR! threads have to be limited. I keep taking an R off until it allows the post to go through. I can't remember the limit though. It is to stop spam, I think. At least, that is my guess.

Either that or DU has some sort of grudge against Ahhhhhhh! Streakerrrrrr! and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. :shrug:
