I guess this is the work of a bunch of trans-haters abusing the report feature.

Assigning the right amount of power for an automatic filter is a science itself, though. Heuristic AV scanners and spam filters suffer from the same issues.

For example even big telco providers (Ay Yildiz Germany) get caught up for now MONTHS in Gmails spam filter with no way to change this. Their emails are discarded already at SMTP delivery...

I have my doubts about that since they also seem to go on spurts of banning Native American using their real names.

I don't know Native American names, but I guess the filter classifies their names as having too much entropy when compared to the other 1.1bn FB users.

1.1bn gives a pretty exhaustive list of common names for a given country region.

Well, its a known problem and their continued foolishness is a pain to people including those who do not work for Facebook but have to deal with ticked people because they are the local computer person.

If the last name is a person with a Wikipedia entry then their pretty exhaustive list is not very exhaustive.
