While we are waiting for a reaction from theymos / see his comment below/ I suggest to add this to the rules.
I still think that using of homographs have to be forbidden and added to the rules.
By doing so, we will not waste time in searching for plagiarism. On the other hand using homographs has no positive advantages in the forum, the only reason someone will use it is to cover something, it cannot be done by mistake, it takes quite an effort and it is done on purpose.
So the best and easy thing is to be forbidden.

  • If you have more than 2 one or more * changed characters with homographs in your post, it should be deleted.
  • If you have more than 2 posts breaking this rule you should be banned for a week.
  • For more than 2 post the user should be permaban/nuke.
~sniped some examples from the last few days~

* some of the spammer now use only one character changed. See the last post of this thread.

theymos' comment on the subject, I have provided already such table but still no reaction.
Does someone have a table of these characters? I can automatically convert non-standard characters to ASCII.

The OP was edited together with the subject. The original OP is below this line.



Here is what I found.
What they do is replacing some letters with the corresponding Cyrillic as they are lookalike, know also as homographs.
This kind of activity is a bit weird for me, I couldn't find any similar comment with the same text, tho.

I checked the letter "a" so all marked with yellow are in Cyrillic.


The ICOs market experienced a massive boom in 2017. Prices have recently been in decline but today they are starting to grow, so now is a good time to invest but the main thing is to find a good project. Smiley Smiley

Here are more examples with the same approach. So shall I report such activity?



I think not. This is a centralized currency. It can not be interesting for investment. At any time, developers or owners of the bulk of coins can freeze transactions or the entire market. This is dangerous. I think this is not a good idea.

I think it is safer to buy bitcoin than Ethereum at this stage. Crypto would survive without Bitcoin but well missing Ethereum would be a bigger setback. I do not see the blockchain space without Ethereum any time soon.

Ethereum is a coin used by many investors, as it was created for this purpose. Ethereum has a good project, the price is very high, but it is still a good coin that will grow in the future.

I thought that they cover the copy/paste postings but you have to research every single case.

There are many more like those, this is just a brief example.

I think this kind of unnecessary activity should be considered as a rule-braking and be punishable.
What you think?
