Discourse is an open source platform for community discussion. Prior to version 3.1.3 of the stable branch, if a user has been quoted and uses a | in their full name, they might be able to trigger a bug that generates a lot of duplicate content in all the posts they've been quoted by updating their full name again. Version 3.1.3 of the stable branch contain a patch for this issue. No known workaround exists, although one can stop the "bleeding" by ensuring users only use alphanumeric characters in their full name field.
