..uh, is it really fair to remove that as leet when it's part of the actual album title? I've seen people, even staffies, talk about - for example - the show Numb3rs without any problems.

Wait, we can't mention albums with leet in their actual names?

It's because of who posted it.

But, yeah, I'm getting the new 'Deth album.

It's out on the first, right?

As far as I understand the rules, no leet means no leet.

Whoa! Nukaya is real member! D: I thought you were B6.

While there are many rumors that we are one and the same person, I am indeed my own separate entity. I am currently a blog assistant. He is currently an administrator.

Sooooo excited for Thirteen. The singles/leaks/etc are looking awesome.

I'm not a tremendous Metallica fan (Ride the Lighting and Kill 'Em All are pretty good but I'm unenthusiastic about their newer material).

So yeah, I'm definitely taking Thirteen over Lulu too.

As for the title, even though I wouldn't call it leetspeak per se, it is just a stylization anyways. Thirteen is still a valid way of referring to it.

Still not the proper name.

There are some exceptions to this policy. The occasional use of non-English languages or leet is allowed to add flavor or emphasis to your text. Examples such as, 'hola,' 'sayonara,' and 'hax,' would be fine as long as the majority of the post is made in clear and easy-to-read English. Excessive usage will be removed and repeat offenses with result in Administrative action.

I would assume Th1rt3en is easy enough to read.

I PM'd B6 and asked. Also YAY! The album is only 10.99!

However, the blog rules specifically state "Do not post using chatspeak or leet". These are the rules that I am going by in regards to leet in the blogs. If you feel differently, please PM Black Six (who, as I state again, is not the same person as I am).

I'd say that referring to the name of the album would be an allowable exception to the rule.
