notice the emphasis on that, and how illegal activities were mentioned first.

They put a whole section in about "Leet words possibly indicating illegal activity". Is it just me, or does microsoft have a motive to post this opposed to helping parents to "Understand how your kids communicate online to help protect them"?

Are you suggesting that using another language means you are pirating software?

Has anyone noticed that with the exception of 'pwn', those words actually DO have the possibility of indicating illegal activity.

Pity you didn't proof-read your edit, because it sure makes a lot of sense now:

Quote: "They forgot and "c0dez". Give me teh c0dez!!"


When you're going to edit your post to remove the word 'teh', you should probably remove the word 'and' as well.

Amazing, not that aolers are using leet Microsoft sees it as a concern, just as the last threat of hacker speak begins to die.

[EDIT] I told them that their article was not useful.

sadly, they are. mostly the teeny-boppers who think they're cool.
l33t used to be something, then it got abused, badly.
