Microsoft banned use of the word “Microslop” on its Copilot Discord server, according to a report by Windows Latest.
The restriction was introduced after users repeatedly posted the term, which critics use to describe Microsoft’s AI products.
Users began bypassing the filter by using altered spellings, after which moderators temporarily locked the server and hid the message history.
A Microsoft spokesperson said the action was taken to address a spam campaign targeting the Copilot Discord community.
The company said the word filter and server lockdown were temporary measures while stronger moderation safeguards are implemented.
