Meme: Porblem, Proble, Halting Issue, Pro-blem, pr0blem, proble*

Originator: Kevin Montrose

Cultural Height: TBD

Background: Late 2011, the SO devs decided to add a filter to question titles blocking (among others) the word Problem. Even though this change undoubtedly managed to block a lot of crap (if just for a short time), it lead to great discontent among the Meta community. With great glee, they pointed out that people started circumventing the filter by deliberately misspelling the word or inserting punctuations - among them proble, pro-blem, and proble*. Various users and moderators have renamed themselves in protest:

  • Josh Caswell: Problem
  • MPelletier: problAm
  • NullUserException ♦: ProblematicTitleException ♦
  • Robert Harvey ♦: pr0blem ♦
