Username rules updates

Are homophobic, racist, political, or otherwise offensive
Can I have a mod statement about IndexLibrorum's use of words in the Discord server? Shouldn't rules regarding homophobia, racism, or otherwise offensive words be consistent in anything FAF-related?
I hear @Strydxr received a warning for a man in a gif lip-reading the n-word. That is, the man supposedly said, or looked like he was saying the n-word in the gif, but the n-word itself was not mentioned anywhere.
Yet... this is okay?
The apostrophes do not remove the meaning from the words.
There's more instances of this, by the way.Delete this message if you like for whatever reason. Just apprehend your moderators first. I've also not seen or heard anyone but the moderator team complain about renames by the way. Most people think it's pretty funny, so the other changes are just taking away the fun that can be had with renames.

Whats wrong with the word "faggot".
I say this as a member of the gay community so you can ban me for being homophobic as it legitimately defines me.
Ras Boi's save lives.

Might i ask what exactly lead to those changes? Like, the only instance of 'impersonating' that i know of was somebody who used a username on a third-party-server and got banned for it in FAF, which is some questionable practive, imho.
-
@noc Google it - every source I found states it to be an offensive word/slur used to disparage gay men.
Not to be confused with british slang for cigarette!frick snoops!

I will happily give passes to all of my good friends if they ask, for retard and faggot.
Unfortunately I don't have one for the N word, but we can surely outsource for that, right friends!?
(This is a joke, calm down pls)

Honestly if someone is getting mad about pixels on a screen they really shouldn't even be online if your bothered by what someone is writing or saying it's mostly your own problem even if they're words I wouldn't personally use.

Based of this I shall resort back to my old insults: your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

Hi guys

I think I have a good nickname for a whole year

I like how an inside joke between people who mostly play together has somehow triggered the mod team to make sweeping changes to restrict user agency. These particular renames affected literally no one outside the 1800+ community, who already know who everyone is. That is, unless there's been some surge of 800s ban evading by confounding mods with monthly renames - I doubt it.
Meanwhile, the thread to discuss this bizarre change is slowly filling with slurs, as if our ability to trust moderation wasn't already low enough.
-
I think all the constant renaming memes are cringe, and I like it when you guys are crushed under the boot of oppressive moderators. We haven't had any good forum drama for a while either, so these are good and necessary changes.
It seems clearly better to auto revert names in violation of the rules instead of forcing people to go into disgusting, anime-ridden places like discord to contact the moderation team. This would be an excellent use of development resources.
-
@thomashiatt This is the first time in ages a group of people have got together to change their names similarly. Idk how they are constant
