What is offensive to you may be normal to someone else. Who decides whether it's offensive or not? If we ban everything that is "offensive to some people" as you say, I'm sure there will be very little left on the forum. Instead of wasting time on this, you can Ignore usernames you don't like.

I would be inclined to go along with this. What is (and what is not) offensive is down to a matter of opinion. As capable and understanding people we can always decide what we might or not be offended by but we cannot apply our personal barometer to the one that is making statements and claims.

If someone wants to use the Ignore button on another member for the sake of them using an offensive account name then that is their prerogative but it does not necessarily automatically mean some/all of their their posts will be low quality or even spam. Each member has to navigate their way around this I suppose.

I was scrolling through the Goods board and saw this topic, got me curious that he's got that name. Didn't know that there were no policies in the forum about names that would be offensive to some people, in the image below is the screenshot of the name of the user. I don't know if there's a rule in place regarding names or I'm just sensitive about this particular name or something.



In my opinion, the username is not a problem if you still use a positive name, if the name is sensitive or dirty, that's the only thing that should be an issue, because it doesn't uphold this forum.

A dirty name can make us lazy to express opinions because the name is not pleasant to look at, therefore we use our own name or a pseudonym for a name that is pleasant to read.
