> Windows Latest found that sending a message with the word "Microslop" inside the official Copilot Discord server immediately triggers an automated moderation response. The message does not appear publicly in the channel, and instead, only the sender sees the notice stating that the content is blocked by the server because it contains a phrase deemed inappropriate.
>
> Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there. Shortly after Windows Latest [3]posted about Copilot Discord server blocking Microslop on X, users began experimenting in the server with variations such as "Microsl0p" using a zero instead of the letter "o." Predictably, those versions slipped past the filter. Keyword moderation has always been something of a cat-and-mouse game, and this isn't any different.
>
> What started as a simple keyword filter quickly snowballed into users deliberately testing the restriction and posting variations of the blocked term. Accounts that included "Microslop" in their messages first got banned from messaging again. Not long after, access to parts of the server was restricted, with message history hidden and posting permissions disabled for many users.

It's like when you tell someone "Don't touch that." and they immediately touch it.

Which is why you always coat certain things with contact poison. They'll learn their lesson real quick. Or not. It depends on if they make their saving throw.

It seems likely they were part of the original screw-up.

Slashdot will not allow you to comment the name of their corporate owner, b i z x (remove spaces). Your comment will hit the lameness filter until the offending name is removed.

I am waiting for J.D. Vance to tell the security conference that Microsoft is a worse threat than Iran for censoring Microslop online. This is how tyranny starts.
Furthermore I think it is time for Mr. Nadella to open source windows.

Hilarious that they are both this insecure and also haven't yet learned you how not to handle adverse linguistic attachment.
...Waiting for the shitty, non-disable-able outlook "grammar" "checker" will start trying to correct this.

Sounds like Micros~1 doesn't want to deal with actual people, much less the consequences of their own boneheaded decisions.
Of course, if Discord had a backbone (and ethics), they would summarily remove the filters, and smack Micros~1 for making them look bad. And if Micros~1 gave them any back-talk about it, they could reply, "Well, it sounds like you should set up your own rules on your own globally accessible chat network. I hear you already have something along those lines. Something called... Teams
