I tried to paste the following URL into a thread on China discussing Tibet. Note how the editor has made it unreadable by automatically substituting a smiley face for an accidental combination of a colon and a "D". Extremely annoying, and this sort of thing happens all the time.
Why not add an "insert emoticon" editorial sidebar instead of having automatic substitutions?

A work around would be to use a tinyurl.
