I remember some people trying to name their Pokémon "Sobchak" and "Spice" but being unable to do so. I think the banned words within them must be the acronym for "son of a (female dog)" and the ethnic slur for Hispanic people. I don't remember the generation, it was either the fifth or the sixth. Can anyone comfirm/decomfirm these two?

== Surprised nobody mentions the Scunthorpe problem == | |||
Surprised the wiki on censored words never mentioned about the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem Scunthorpe problem], a situation where the system can flag banned words contained in a word or sentence (so if it contains a substring of any prohibited word, would flag it). A mario maker folks who title the level experienced it and posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comments/c99xni/this_should_come_as_no_surprise_but_nintendos/ it on reddit]. | |||
Yeah, I mean, this is actually a difficult situation, assuming it was using a regex, and pays attention to spaces and not flag banned words that were separated by spaces (like yo'''shi t'''ime, example from Black60Dragon), then it is very easy for anyone to circumvent the word filter, but at the same time increases the chance of the word filter catching it. | |||
And yes, the act of bypassing filters (creatively) have been attempted on license plates, and they block hundreds of variations of it. <small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ghb}} ([[User talk:Ghb|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ghb|contribs]]) ''</small> | |||
:Gen 5's filter is very dumb and only checks for exact matches of the entire string. You can include individual censored words, as long as your whole name doesn't exactly match the censored word. | |||
:It wasn't until Gen 6, when they started using the hardware's in-built filters, that the filter started to do partial string matches and use RegEx. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:25, 22 September 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Japanese list not fully correct? == | |||
Just tested ファック ("f*ck") on Japanese copies of W/W2, and it was allowed through both times. However, セックス ("sex") was blocked, so it doesn't have anything to do with hiragana vs. katakana, or English loanwords, or sokuon. This suggests that the Japanese list in this article has at least some inaccuracies in it. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 03:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
