Jason2gs brought this up on the irc channel.

Should we censor/delete offensive usernames?

For example - niggers.

I reckon it'd be smart to do that. Another example is twat, but I don't find it so offensive.

What do you all think?

Yeah, if we don't allow a word to be used in a post, it shouldn't be in a username.

yep this is all that's needed to be said in the discussion…

Just report the post with that person, and we will force a name change. :)

We did it with some people already, we just hadn't noticed these ones.

"Twat" is probably my least favorite word in the English lexicon.

Also, I wasn't aware that certain words weren't allowed to be used in posts. "Nigger."

Also, I only want an excuse to infract-ban someone.

Also, I'm enjoying noidea's purple-hued name.

Ya Jason, your user name - totally offensive!
Jason2gs aka Jason is equivalent to 2 gangsters
2 gangsters aka equivalent to 2 hoes because your a gangster.

Yeah I agree, noidea!

Yes, I totally agree, with both ;)

Offtopic: Just noticed I have the scripter cup, wow, didn't see that coming. Lol.

I generally hate it when a person's username is in plural, since in most cases it's a single person. Change it to nigger.

I PM'd the user giving them 24 Hrs to request a new name and if they did not comply they would be permanently banned.

No reply, I have permanently banned them.

maybe like a week just incase they don't check in often:(

Let them have whatever username they want. If they want a retarted name let them. I don't think that we should censor people's political/social opinions.

@Kanah Mainly talking about cussing and generally stuff that will get you an infraction if you use it in a post.

@Camo It looks good and well deserved ;)
