This user copypasted my post, on the next post right underneath it!  Looks like a bot, an exceptionally stupid bot:

will address the latter first, since it is a technical issue.  Any selection of characters for such an application will always involve tradeoffs of excluding worse confusable pairs, whilst regrettably tolerating some less confusable pairs.  Of course, making that distinction cannot be what I’d call an exact science.  BIP 173 set forth its rationale on this point; do you have any objective reason to contradict the research it cites?

I will hit the “Report to moderator” button also, of course.  (I have reported >100 posts in the past few weeks, with 100% accuracy.)  I post here to request nuking from orbit.

Aside, I wish I had discovered this thread before.  I reported a number of copypastes, with links to websites copied.  I don’t know if those accounts were banned, as they should have been.

Thanks to mods for their efforts shovelling garbage out of a landfill with a spoon, as the garbage trucks continue to arrive.

There's a deletion log here somewhere which will show you all the recent bans and trashed threads. 100 reports in a few weeks is massive though! I think I recall shorena & Lutpin being the biggest reporters on the forum and I don't think they even averaged 100 reports every few weeks.
