is another page containing many black-diamond-question-marks. Unfortunately, many of them obviously aren't replacements for apostrophes and some of them are critical to the meaning of the text. For example, it isn't obvious what symbol was intended for "replace it with [�] to indicate that a section has been removed." An ellipsis, perhaps?

Well, apparently not the latter, unless the bbcode interpreter can be enhanced.

As the defensive barriers go down, the world becomes open to the rest of the universe, and its magical inhabitants are left defenseless against plunder. Within a few decades or centuries (depending on how long it takes the news to reach the nexus) the system is invaded by collectors and Clarkers who pillage the planet of any clarketech that can be carried off.

SNARE (Siris Nanocyborg Ascension RegimEn)

probably should be
for low-singularity (S1 to almost S3) ascensions

(My understanding is that full S3 requires the mass of a moon to support, so seems unlikely to be appropriate when maintaining an external humanoid shape as the article seems to suggest. Near the end it also says "someone with the SNARE package can jump from SI:0.8 to SI:2.99 in a few seconds" suggesting that a full S3 ascension is unlikely.)
