Nobody is, it’s the same thing as the forum software correcting : ) to : smiling :
And also replacing random emoji with shortcodes that don’t even mean the same thing. There was a question if we disable this but apprently people wanted it to stay, And I am in the minority of thinking a forum not supporting emoji properly is ridicilous. Oh well.
Btw just discovered Google also has their own haiku project😅
I really doubt the forum software happens to know to switch Haiku-OS to Haiku. I can almost guarantee that a moderator at some point created a custom rule for that.
And correcting emojis is annoying too. I want to say (-: and don’t want to be forced into saying 
(Don’t want to be forced to use the smiley picture.)
now it listens to me though? We will see when I post.

Yeah, the forum software is doing it, I’m not disagreeing with that, but it’s not doing it on its own.
I’m amused that in the e-mail I can still see what you wrote, but in the forum it appears differently.
Anyhow, My point was that there was nobody editing your post manually, yes this was probably taught to the forum. But it was not directed at you personally.
Not at me personally. But whoever did it is taking it personally. They really shouldn’t worry, because nobody is using H@1kU05 as an attack or insult, and if they were, oh well. Haters gonna hate. It’s still best to not take it personally, and just reverse it. It silliness at this point, and will only confuse people down the road who don’t realize they’re being corrected.
Enjoy it while it lasts. The revolution is coming.
Bro what does “It’s still best tomboy take it personally” even mean T-T
I’ve made up my mind! Starting today, I’m thinking of calling the system IQ.
How does that sound?
This was done because otherwise, whenever someone wrote Haiku-OS or something similar, a dozen people would make a point of correcting them and would derail the original topic. Now it’s auto"corrected" by the forum software, and most often people don’t notice or don’t care.
It saves a lot of time, allows these posts to stay ontopic, and newcomers that make the mistake honestly and unintentionally don’t get a bad welcome in the community.
The only people who are annoyed are a minority who insist it should be “Haiku-OS” and not “Haiku” for whatever reason, ignoring, at this point, decades of branding and marketing efforts. They are probably not going to change their mind, but this forum hack was not made for them, rather to prevent the equally annoying (even if technically correct) people who argue the other way, from scaring newcomers by their pedantry after what is, all things considered, not a so important thing.
Typo.
@PulkoMandy maybe have a FAQ people read on joining the forum. Haiku vs. HaikuOS, please donate to help us buy Haiku.org (or .com).
In the meantime, censoring the word HaikuOS is just childish. Most people here are totally fine with calling it Haiku, and it’s easier to say anyway.
We already have this General FAQ | Haiku Project
If somebody cares they will read it, and if not they will not. There is no need to shove this in peoples faces on joining the forum.
Fairly standard to have some reading to do when joining a forum. Anyway. There should still be some way to notify people that you are changing their statements and censoring the word HaikuOS Not cool.
I think we should make Haiku OS be flagged by the spell checker or something.
We’ve had this topic before, 5 years ago and possibly before and since too. I think it’s a really easy mistake to make, and it can be confusing whether you are new to Haiku or have been using it for 15 years. Most people are not doing it on purpose. Due to the confusing situation with the name we cannot expect everyone to get it right and it would be irrational to get angry/annoyed when people (or AIs) make an innocent error. Therefore we should be more relaxed about it. The filter seems OK if it reduces forum noise.
Maybe there is a cabal who want to change the name and are being difficult but I haven’t seen much evidence of that and I imagine even if it is so the majority of naming mistakes are still just innocent mistakes.
Was just curious as to what type of names AI might pick for Haiku. (I think some are already taken):
" You said: What could be some alternative names for the Haiku operating system, that would reflect its unique features?
ChatGPT said:
Choosing an alternative name for the Haiku operating system that reflects its unique features could be an engaging exercise. Here are some suggestions:
Each of these names aims to capture different aspects of Haiku’s philosophy and design goals, from simplicity and efficiency to innovation and elegance."
Beside the fact none of them would help to get better web search results (They are all rather common names if you cut the OS part) and then to stop these discussions; it has no problem to suggest some names that are already registered. No Windows or MacOS in the list though, it says a lot about qualities they don’t have… 
Interesting that AI insists on appending “OS” even though most of the major operating systems don’t have it. Over on the AI Image thread someone remarked that there was a Mac bias in the pictures. This might be the same thing.
Haha, I like how AI just uses buzzwords. I doubt that is an ambition if the core idea is to keep backwards compat.
There kind of is already a HorizonOS, as Horizon is the name of the Nintendo Switch operating system.
