opentype Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It’s regular text characters, so you can’t easily prevent it. Disallow it in your rules and apply sanctions if users use it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 You can use that mod: Quote 2.1.0 ------------------------ NEW! Zalgo text eliminator! SeNioR-, All Astronauts and opentype 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeNioR- Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There is no effective way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Posted January 24, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 24, 2022 As these are actually valid characters, there is no way in which to prevent this in the software itself, at present. There are modifications people have created for this, as mentioned above. SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted. It simply means it's not there now. Who knows what tomorrow might bring, haha! 🙂 If you would like for it to be considered in a future release, you can make a suggestion in the Feature Suggestions forum below: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/499-feature-suggestions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) It is possible to reduce the "impact" of Zalgo text via CSS. Ehren helped us on our custom theme and it does work quite good: .ipsType_pageTitle, .ipsDataItem_lastPoster__title, .ipsDataItem_title, .cPost [data-role="commentContent"]{ overflow: hidden; } Please keep in mind this snippet is for our custom theme; feel free to experiment...
