[Updated 11/4/2013] Gmail has patched this bug.
Please note we have discovered a technical problem with Gmail which is flagging certain emails containing the word “lolz” as unsafe email meaning it will never arrive in your inbox or even your spam folder. This lolz problem had an effect on some PMs sent between our members.
For the time being and until this bug is fixed by Gmail staff, we will rewrite “lolz” to “lol” in our alert emails. Keep in mind this “lolz” issue is widespread based on our internal tests and for the time being we advise everyone to avoid using the word “lolz” in their future emails to gmail users.
You can test this yourself by sending an email containing the word “lolz” in the email body to a friend with a gmail account. Hopefully this bug will be fixed by Gmail soon.

Hello, Xing,
I was wondering how can I connect our gmail to this blog so I can comment using it. I’ve tried multiple times but the bar just says Connecting to Google+ for ages. I’ve already added this blog to my update section there but it’s still refusing to connect.

I hope this attempts works because I just tried something new. This is the normal way I usually reply to posts using my hotmail.

One has to wonder what kind of danger(s) may come with “lolz”.

People could just stop using lolz. Maybe it’s not an error but just the rightful iron hand of justice striking at those who dare use lolz.

This is crummy. I just realized that I haven’t been getting any of my messages since early October. Time to get it fixed!
