 * When users use a color in the forums, this tends to happen
 * <c0l0r=#ffffff>Hello
 * becomes
 * #ffffff>Hello
 * It’s not actually doing anything with the colors.
 * I know it’s not c0l0r but instead color. This is just to prevent if there is 
   one, a rich editor from trying to post it as a color.

 * This is sanitized internally in TinyMCE (invalid tags are removed). But that 
   won’t prevent users from adding directly in the textarea and submitting the form.
