My self-censoring attempt ended up highlighting for the whole room.

Apparently, most combinations of three or more non-letters after the @ symbol will work, including the original @#$£ or less imaginative @###, @$$$, @£££. @@@@ also works.

    If you need to report something privately you could email them ([email protected]).

    @badp, there's a significant typo in your title; I believe you meant to write " About your @***ing chatroom. "

    This even alerts people in other rooms too. I thought I was going crazy hearing the notification sound, but not seeing any new messages in any room I was in.

The first one to trigger this bug actually was our CEO, with his very eloquent utterance

@!#$%^&*()_(*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*()(*&^$%#@!#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!

Fixed now, thanks :)
