Today I looked at mons in a gym and noticed one was named with the letter "t" followed by 13 numbers that seemed random. When I entered battle, the name changed to letters, and the new name was derogatory towards another player. How are people doing this?
EDIT: Changed redaction to only the other player's name.

It is likely that this player's name was detected as offensive and was removed and the
t+digitsis a temporary or permanent replacement name. The gym may use a different database table to store the relevant information and may have kept the player's old name before it was banned.
