#ScunthorpeProblem

2025-10-17

Earlier today, I was trying to submit a potential phishing URL to Hybrid Analysis (hybrid-analysis[.]com/, behind CloudFlare) because I was too lazy to spin up a VM.
I wrote in the comments field that it was "Associated with" and then a bitly link which redirected to it.
I was unable to submit it with that comment because it gave me the error "This field contains improper words".
Because "Associated" contains "ass"...

I joined the peertube.wtf instance but can't post links to it in the Linux Mint forums because those three final letters are always auto-replaced with "confused" πŸ˜†

Nah. Straight up instance of the Scunthorpe Problem, that is.

One of great grandmother's maiden name was Lillycrap and another great grandparent was Longbottom.
Good old fashioned British names don't always age well.

@b3cft @jonty My surname has been rejected by websites on occasions because it fails the #scunthorpeproblem test.

(I prefer not to put my surname out here but it's not too difficult to find)

@jonty
Damn my carpentry company; Drop Table Legs, is now illegal?
Wonder how many other companies are now technically illegal because of the #ScunthorpeProblem

@ikanreed @ark_lamp_umbrella@tech.lgbt @privateger @seraph@wetdry.world Unless you have no choice but to use regular etwitterpressions. At least they’re better than simple substitution. Clbuttic mistake.

Wait. I thought that was the clbuttic *allowed* word.

That is absurd, given the subject matter of the song.

There was my little encounter recently with Pastebin's #ScunthorpeProblem:

(Pastebin, to their credit, remedied the situation rapidly and w/o hassle, though I somewhat enjoyed defending the language usages.)
