    Suggestion: Banning of usernames containing inappropriate abbreviations ("wtf", "stfu", "gtfo" and the like)

    Reason: The reason why I made this suggestion is that the majority of servers bans users having inapproptiate abbrevistions. Because ECC is family-friendly, all usernames having inappropriate abbreviations will be prohibited as it might fall under "Inappropriate usernames" in the rules.

    Any other information: I really recommend this server to have the users having inappropriate abbreviations change his/her username into the highly appropriate one.

    Why should it be banned in usernames if it isn't even banned in chat?

    The topic here is about the prohibition of username having inappropriate abbreviations (like "xxxxGTFO", "xxxWTFxxx", "STFUxxx" and the like (note: "x" stands as an example)) but this does not relate to chat.

    Side note: As I said above, the ECC server should be family-friendly.

    Let me rephrase my question. Why should we ban these usernames when we don't mind these abbreviations being used in chat? What makes usernames different or worse than chat?

    That only applies for the users who had abbreviations profane in any manner. But the only exception is that if the user's abbreviation is 100% safe.

    The rules regarding usernames being appropriate have worked well. I honestly don't think these are very offensive.

    As well, we shouldn't change the rules just because other servers have this rule - what is best for them may not be what's best for us.

    Are the allowed abbreviations in this server include "WTF", "STFU", "GTFO" and the like in this server?

    Abbreviations of such a kind are allowed unless directed at somebody. And it's hard to direct a username towards a certain player.
