Yes, and then we end up with the Scunthorpe problem instead. I agree it's a little bit silly, and also a loosing proposition; even trying to filter for /actual/ cuss words is hard enough (because the list of word/fragments someone *might* find offensive is boundless); if we try to also block misspelling, lookalikes or cognates we might as well block /^[a-z]*$/. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
