Inappropriate Usernames?

Postby TerminalHope » Sat Oct 06, 2018 4:52 pm

I've been noticing a trend of people creating usernames containing the n-word, (which in its original form is banned i believe? please correct me if I'm wrong), but instead of g's they'll use b's or q's. To anybody looking at it the intent is obvious and that they're using it as a way around the filter. I keep voting guilty and reporting it as its obviously just the n word which does alienate players and creates a hostile gaming environment. Yet, the names keep being deemed innocent and my ranking keeps going down? Some of them are directly hateful and threatening and their intent is obvious. Am I in the wrong for guiltying these or is this a glitch? Examples are below

This is because the given report section "inappropiate username" only covers the chosen ingame name and not the account name.

Wait, seriously? So if you name yourself an offensive username but don't have an offensive in game name you can't be reported?

They coudl get forced to change their username, or banned for something else.
