Obviously not.

No. Neither does he change what users type in, nor does he touch their
texts, nor does he drive users away. He just generates URLs from the
submitted content like almost every blog software on this planet. He
just asked about how to optimize it.

If you upload a picture to an image hoster, would you get upset and be
driven away by the fact that a script on that site will automatically
generate a thumbnail from what you've uploaded?

User-friendly and readable/speaking URLs.

Compare these:

www.example.com/forum/?msg=12345
www.example.com/forum/this-here-is-the-text-about-that-something
www.example.com/forum/text-about-something

Obviously the last one would be preferred.

Who's trying to scam here?

A good site will be even better with good URLs. And all the OP wants is
to automatically create them - short and precise.
