> Kunt gets censored in a popular game

Ahhhh a distant cousin to the "Scunthorpe problem" - English and Dutch are not so dissimilar after all!

Related problem I saw recently, guy called Nasser had the "ass" in his name in some game's chat replaced with the string "***" taking a very common name and making it look like he named himself perhaps the worst word in the English language. Very unfortunate.

Had this problem in a Star Trek game.

Pakled is a specific race of aliens in the game and universe (TNG Samaritan Snare), but would get caught in the filter (Assuming due to Pakistanis?)

I remember them from my recent (~2 yrs ago, wow) re-watch of TNG! Their strategy was to look helpless to trick bypassers into helping them out, since they were not clever enough to do engineering work etc themselves.
