Comment on A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content

feddit.it, prepare yourself for the influx of new members.

Also, can we “appreciate” how dumb this sort of word filter is? You don’t even need to choose between false positives (e.g. “Luigi’s Mansion” gets flagged) and false positives (e.g. people say “LM” and it doesn’t get flagged), you got both at the same time.

(BTW if you want to avoid this sort of dumb word filter, just mix some Cyrillic letters into your word. “Luigi” would get flagged, but I bet that “Luіgі” wouldn’t.)
