Not so much these days. But back in the day one of the crude efforts to control access to porn on the internet was filtering for the word "porn", which lead to a standard mis-spelling of it as "pr0n". Which became so ingrained that I now spell it that way by default.

I was mostly referencing that rather than trying to avoid an actual filter now.

Any filter worth its salt would also include "pr0n" along with "porn"
Just write "pom" and pretend it's a keming issue ;)
