Can you ban people for bad username?

Fine Black Gentleman got in an arguement about it after someone told them they were offended by the Fine Black Gentleman part.

You can't ban them directly for an in game username, if a report is generated, he will prob be suspended, idk about usernames for accounts

[Jerme]

Accountname or chosen name ingame?
One can be banned or suspended for the latter, but atm not for the former, instead those accounts get flagged for renaming, making the players change their accountname.

But "Fine Black Gentleman" is a name generated by BMG itself.
Therefore, I do not think it is bannable.

People have been known to get banned for usernames in the past, so I believe BMG's stance on this question is in the affirmative.

@ProjectSuperBoy: The "Fine Black Gentleman" what you see is done by the wordfilter of the forum, as it replaces a racial slur.

[ProjectSuperBoy]

Oh, so this racial slur was able to evade the filter as a username?

Still, the point remains that if you are that against it just offer the user the chance to change it.

[Jerme]

Racist/offensive accountnames are flagged for renaming. When those accounts keep on choosing offensive accountnames, they might end up getting banned.

[ProjectSuperBoy]

That seems pretty arbitrary.
