We're again not looking at input but output. Filters have been flat removed from input everywhere I could find them. What we're missing is everywhere user-entered data can be displayed. I did miss polls though.
Email messages are working as expected, web messages are not. Having issues finding where messages are created though, so that's staying broken until I do.

First off, I apologize for taking so long to reply to your comment. I read your comment but lacked time to reply at that moment, and failed to give it a priority to reply until now.
Separately, we're coming up on Black Friday which translates in the retail world to mean "you can pretty much forget about any normal kind of hours for a while." So, my availability (and likely my ability, too) will be rather curtailed until at least a couple weeks into the new year. I don't intend to fall off the face of the earth, so to speak, but my hours here are likely to be severely curtailed. :(

Yes, point well-made and well-taken!

I misunderstood that point, before. There is coverage of that in point "6. Text viewing location:", above. Off-hand, I can think of no other places. That said, I'd like to make another pass through the site to see if I can find any other places where user-entered input is output.
On the other hand, let's assume we *have* found all the places that user-entered data can be displayed. How do we test it? We'll need to know where to enter user data to get it to come out there, right? So, I'm holding onto the inputs I documented.
PS. As a thought experiment, what if we started with a minimalist install of the site in a VM, entered unique and distinct values in each of these input fields, and then looked to see where each of these came out? One could use a combination of a web-site scraper, e-mail client, NNTP client, etc. to view all the possible outputs. Though I'm not advocating actually doing so for all possible inputs, it may prove to be viable for a selection of inputs/outputs when it comes to coverage testing and the like.
