Made me snigger. Incidentally, you can't use that word on many forums: snigger.
I live near a town called Scunthorpe. Scunthorpe residents tend to use the nickname Scunny when they're on-line, because the full name gets blocked so often.
- jasoncartwright 11y agoAh, the Scunthorpe problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
- greglindahl 11y agoI made a reasonable whack at solving the Scunthorpe problem by building a whitelist of terms containing those 4 letters, and a similar list for the Hiroshita problem. Alas, now IBM owns all that code. As I build a search engine with autocomplete for the Wayback Machine, I'm really missing having it.

- jejones3141 11y agoYes. I used to frequent a message board that implemented a really dumb profanity filter. It got to the point that its users would greet one another in face to face meetings with "Hecko!"
- greglindahl 11y agoI see people on dating websites writing c* cktail with the '* '. Not nearly as funny as Hecko, though!
