Catch copy/paste vandalism like hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. --Wknight94

This doesn't need to be private. -BJ

This has far too many false positives to be set to disallow... Not to mention that it seems to block people from using "..." and "'''''" (for bold/italic), amongst other things. --Conti

It can at least warn.  "'''''''" problem is fixed now.  Added curly brace exception too.  Need example of "..." since at least 7 occurrences are needed to trigger. --Wknight94

Changed title to something more neutral. --Conti

Too many false positives - mostly in reference URLs.  Unless someone has a clever way to fix, this is causing more harm than good IMHO.

Agreed, please do not enable this filter without substantial changes, and substantial log only testing. -Prodego

removing the quote, it was triggered by '''xxxx''' in certain cases -- Luk

The filter should ignore urls. - Ruslik

Ignoring all edits with URLs in them isn't a good idea. I've made it a bit more complex, actually checking if a link contains repeating chars. If any added link contains added chars, it stops. Theoretically we could do all sorts of counting to make sure there isn't a link with repeating chars AND other repeating chars, but I think that would just eat away at needless conditions, considering it is likely very rare. -Prodego

Turning out not to be too useful and the filter is overwrought now.  Disabling.  -Wknight94
