A while back, when I sucked at PHP (yes, I did know some PHP here and there, but my skills bordered on novice - and still do -), I messed around with MyBB's code in an attempt to create a tool not unlike the troll post crusher on TV Tropes - deletes every user's post in a thread.
I was never going to actually use it (of course), but it still posed an interesting challenge. I ended up asking a few people what they wanted it called, and I got mixed results. Some people wanted to call it "teh Nuker", and others wanted to call it "the Purifier" after a running joke in the forum that "Zarya will purify your soul" and that a spammer got Purified.
One thing led to another and I eventually decided to compromise, calling it... "teh Purifier". And no, the "teh" is not optional. Eventually, I ended up with something that would say "This post has been cleansed by TEH PURIFIER."
... what am I saying, anyway? Who knows.

Temptation lies in the forbidden. Some doors must never be opened.
