Add stripslashes_deep filter

Applied patch and slash is now removed. Thanks @cnorris23

This ticket actually needs to stay open, so that one of the core devs can commit it to the official BP code. This way it's fixed for everyone.

@cnorris23

Sorry about that. Thought I would help clear open ticket after confirming. One less ticket for 1.2.5 either way.

[cnorris23]

Right, but that's not how Trac works. If the ticket is closed, it will get overlooked by the devs, because it has been marked as fixed, invalid, wontfix, etc. If the ticket is overlooked, the devs won't know there's a real issue that needs to be addressed in core, they won't be able to look for a fix, or apply a fix that's already been added to the ticket. What this means for you... When 1.2.5 comes out the patch you just applied will be wiped out. You will start seeing slashes in the group names again. If the issue bothers you enough, you will then have to manually patch the file again. This will continue into perpetuity until someone else submits a ticket, or a dev notices it, and it is fixed. Bottom line, if you submit a ticket and a solution is presented, test that solution. If the solution works, post a comment saying so, but leave the ticket open so that the issue/fix can be applied to the plugin code.

What jjj said. If I came off as a jerk, just know that was the last thing on my mind. Just letting you know what was going on. It was only after I posted it that I realized how long it was. In conclusion, I'm sorry. "No worries; now you know :)" ;)
