"[PSA] Using Cyrillic Characters to Bypass Filter"

#PokemonGO: So normally I wouldn't make a thread like this. I actually appreciate that we have a profanity filter now (should have been from day one, honestly), but because the implementation is so flawed to the point that loads of perfectly innocent words are prohibited, I felt the need to get creative.I saw a thread on here earlier about using accented vowels in words to get around it. But I've got an even better one for you: the Cyrillic alphabet.Cyrillic is the set of characters used in Russian and other Slavic languages. Not all of their letters look like ours, but many do.Here is a list you can use:Uppercase: АВСЕНКМОРТХУLowercase: асеорхуI realize the uppercase Y is a little different and looks more like a handwritten one, but I included it since it's still pretty close.If you're trying to use a word that contains one of those letters, you can copy/paste the Cyrillic character from my list above, and it should be allowed.For example, my 666CP Houndour is now named "Dеvil Dog". Looks 100% identical and nobody would ever know I didn't use the regular "e"Now, the obligatory disclaimer, please do not use this to name your things four-letter curse words or other derogatory comments. With new multiplayer features being added (and soon PvP) the obvious goal here is to make the game appropriate for all ages. Obviously I can't stop you from swearing, but please know that this is not the goal of this thread.Hopefully they will fix the implementation - this is literally like watching the GTS debacle all over again. Remember when you couldn't trade a Cofagrius without renaming it, because the filter blocked it? Same with Weedle. Pretty dumb... via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2PIJCTL
