She ain't the only one.
I've tried it too. As for why it parses for the peasants, I don't know.Probably because vB can't stop it...

I figured that much. Glad I never tried it in a regular post.

Is it custom or was it just there?
I have asked for specific tags before and TF has added them.

Has anyone else issues with the server randomly timing out?

Heres another question: Poster A posts something rather rude. Poster B reports it quickly. Then 5 minutes after the post, Poster A comes to their senses and edits it out with an apology. What does a moderator do?

I'm not positive, but I would guess that they would do nothing. I was in a similar situation in which I said something and didn't make it clear enough that I was responding to someone who wasn't on the site. (Murderous Afghans, I believe.) Some people responded and pointed out that it looked like I was flaming. After seeing the messages, I edited my post to clarify my statement, then went on to make a post explaining myself. No infractions were levied against me.
And since I mentioned that, I would like to thank the moderators in that case for their consideration. (Or lack of having a chance to swoop down on me.
)

If you edit it out before it becomes an issue, I think most cases the moderator will let you off.
I have had cases where I have apologised in thread, and that was enough for the moderator.

It depends. If they are doing it to deliberately troll and then delete the evidence, as some people occasionally do, they will not get much leeway. Editing out a troll / flame with a sincere apology will be a mitigating factor.

The lazy man in me really wishes that the 'youtube' BBCode was shortened to:
[yt][videocodehere[/yt].
Is this something that will never happen? (same subject, but the 'noparse' code might be easier if it was [np][/np], but this is less of an issue).

I know another VBulleetin forum that does just that. Not sure how hard it would be to implement.

Perhaps one of the custom tags like the moderator ones.
